Vivitar DF-286 Bounce Zoom Swivel Speedlite Flash for Nikon

 
 
My Adorama Review: Rating: 4 (out of 5) stars
Headline: Good Flash

Pros : Versatile, Consistent Output, Powerful Output, Easy To Use, Fast Recycling, 
Lightweight
Best Uses : General Use, Fill Flash
Describe Yourself : Pro Photographer

Fits seamlessly in with Nikon's automation. All modes controlled by the camera work as they 
should. AAs last a good while on auto. A little bummed by the lack of instructions in the 
tiny manual, but lots of info online. A good purchase for those who can't afford an on 
camera flash that costs as much as the camera. 
 
With the wide angle lens down and the flash diffuser on,
 this even covers most of my fisheye lens, provided it's 
used in TTL auto and Active D 



-----------------------------------------------


The Vivitar DF-286 flash is a fully automatic, system-dedicated shoe 
mount flash. It features full TTL support for digital SLR cameras. The 
bounce, zoom and swivel head will give you more creative opportunities 
with your shots. The four position zoom can be set to bounce at 0 degree
 , 45 degrees , 60 degrees , 75 degrees and 90 degrees and has a 
horizontal swivel of 270 degrees to allow for softer lighting.

The
 flash includes a built-in slave function, which allows it to be 
positioned off-camera and triggered by any second flash. A red focus 
beam will help you achieve focus in low light conditions and power 
saving circuitry incorporates an auto-off element, giving you more 
battery life. The included flash reflecting plate creates beautiful 
lighting, which greatly improves your images. The wide angle diffuser 
can be attached to the flash head to soften and increase the coverage of
 light from the flash. Red-eye reduction will prevent your flash from 
reflecting off your subject's eyes.
