    Pleasantly surprised
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2012*

I'm a huge advocate of flash photography and do quite a bit with mulitple, off-camera flash units.  I've dabbled in macro photography but never got excited about it.  Knowing how flash can transform other forms of photography, I decided that I "needed" another flash unit.  However, since I just dabble, I wasn't ready to plop down $500 or more on Canon's solution.  Wanting to support an American standard, I decided to give Vivitar a chance.There are several nit-picks that I have (and are listed below).  There is one overwhelming positive that puts this into a strong, good rating.What I like:In a nutshell, fast and accurate E-TTL operation.  With macro work, you're working with enough other technical aspects that having one less thing to worry about was welcome.  I'm comfortable working with manual flash settings and do so frequently with portraits.  With some macro subjects, everything is static, with no time pressure.  In those cases, I was (already) using a pair of 580's on stands.  But for organic subjects, your hands are full.  Having the option for E-TTL was a welcome change.  For my tastes, the exposure was a bit "hot" (see below).What I wasn't thrilled about:The unit is very plastic-y feeling.  All of my other flashes are Canon brand and quite simply feel a whole lot differently.  This one feels ... "cheap".  The control unit (in the hotshoe) is definitely in this "cheap" feel category.  The coiled cord to the flash head is fine.  It's solid and heavy.  The head (that mounts to the lens) is ... okay.  On the plus side, having something that's lightweight at the end of the lens is more convenient just for the weight savings.The control unit (in the hotshoe) is a rigid piece of plastic that has the top half tilted like it's a tilt/swivel head.  It's like it wants to "look like" a higher end unit.  There is no hinge; it's just molded that way.  I'd rather have seen a more compact design.The E-TTL controlled exposure is a little bit "hot".  For most of the shots that I've done so far, none has been above FEC 0.  Most exposures are set at FEC -1 down to FEC -3.  All work so far has been controlled studio settings with flash being the primary light source.  As I move outdoors to bright and natural light, I'll see if that changes.What wasn't clear at first:The flash head is mounted to a 52mm diameter front.  I don't have anything that small.  My 100mm/2.8 and MPE 65mm both have 58mm threads.  The unit comes with adapters, but I was concerned about vignetting.  This isn't an issue because the angle of view for either of these lenses is pretty narrow and shoots through the smaller 52mm hole.  If someone were going to use a wider angle lens with a close-up diopter and expecting to put this unit on front... Well, I'll have to give that a try.

    Christmas present ...

My husband gave me this for Christamas and loved it. Got it working .. Then ... Nothing. Dead as dead can be. Tried replacing batteries etc but nothing. Talked to Amazon Customer Service agent, Yohen, whom was exceptionally helpful and has sent me a new unit without any questions. Fantastic service, Amazon. The few photos that it worked for are fab! Looking forward to getting the replacement and getting more close up shots of my dogs and various creatures in our back yard. Will load some new photos when it arrives.

    Unhappy with flash bounce.
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2014*

I do a lot of Macro photography in my small hobby studio. This Vivitar Flash is of good quality, I just had some issues when photographing shiny items like silver coins or items enclosed in permanently sealed protective cases. Attempting to control the flash bounce was always a laborsome issue. I changed to the LED light ring and it has solved my issue.
