Great flash, but beware of compatibility issues!

This flash does a great job with old E-TTL Canons but failed miserably with the 40D (E-TTL II). However, some resellers still advertise that it works with the E-TTL II mechanism (has a 6th pin in the front).

If you have older EOS E-TTL compatible cameras, you can't beat the price. Else, stay away despite false ads.

Great Flash

This flash is a great item. It bends up and down from straight up to straight towards the subject. It also swivels from left to right giving you more optional bounce on the subject. There are numerous functions on the back to assist with your lighting and also the distance to the subject and more. First initial charge takes a minute or two but that is to be expected when you first turn it on. After that it charges very, very quickly even when you wish to takes shots quickly. Easy to connect to the shoe and easy to remove. Comes with a dial to lock the flash onto the camera. Just don't tighten it too much else you will find it hard to undo to release the flash. Great instructional guide too. Best way to learn though is to use it and experiment.

works good, no diffuser

I have had this for a while now and it works great with my rebel xti. for the price i would buy it over the canon speedlight any day. The only problem i have found is i cant get a diffuser to fit and stay on, i have baught several 8-15$ diffusers and non of them fit properly. From what i can tell opteka doesn't sell a diffuser for this unit so your stuck using whatever you can macgyver onto the front of the unit, otherwise if you dont care about the diffuser go and buy this unit.

The Opteka EF-600 DG SUPER is designed to work with both Canon AF 35mm SLR and Digital SLR cameras, for advanced flash photography. It has a maximum guide number of 148 feet or 45 meter at 85mm focal length (ISO 100).The projection angle of the flashlight is set automatically to match the lens' focal length ranging from 24mm wide-angle to 85mm medium-telephoto. It also incorporates a built-in diffuser that expands the angle of illumination down to that of a 15mm lens. For bounce flash it can be tilted 90? upwards. Also it can be swiveled 180? to the left and 150? to the right. It incorporates "modeling flash" mode to provide proper light distribution to check the shadow of the subject. The multi pulse flash features enable reduced power setting from 1/4 to 1/128 in 6 steps and the pulse frequency of the flash can be set from 1Hz to 199Hz. In addition, manual flash also can be set at 8 output power levels. The covering focal length of the flashlight can be seen on the LCD panel, and a flash ready signal can be seen in the viewfinder. The EF-600 DG SUPER also incorporates auto power off system.
