Seems to be a good all round flash unit. Perfect for the proffesional as well as occasional user.

I had to get a newsflash after my Speedlight 440 gave up the ghost. I was almost set to buy another when I stopped. Have you seen the price of the Canon flashes? I used to be pro (hence the 440) but now my days as a flasher are behind me. I still do the odd big group as a favour but I no longer have a need for a top flight piece of equipment.So I bought the 882C. What a pleasant surprise. This is a genuine quality flashgun. Loaded with features and seems almost as robust as my old Canon. If there is a drawback it might be the soft box that came with it. This was so badly deformed it looked as if someone had parked a car on it. Definitely wouldn't fit without major surgery. But it does very nicely as somewhere to hold pens and pencils. I was never going to use it anyway. As a flash this seems very powerful and easily copes with my 18mm Sigma lens, although to be fair it's more like 26mm with the crop. Still, no bleed off and nobody in the middle with their face blasted white.I'm well pleased, just have to see how the longevity is.

fantastic customer service, good af assist, powerful flash

(UPDATE) A replacement flash was sent to me as compensation for the broken one, as i thought even with the first one 5 stars (if it worked properly) which the new one did, perfectly simple and easy to use, good functions for macro, studio and outdoor portraiture, pair this with a wireless transmitter and a soft-box and it will replace studio flashes for the most part, great recycle time and long battery life, needless to say, 5 stars easily the best flash gun I've ever used.(OLD COMMENT) - I might just be dense in this moment in time but the flash gun doesn't actually flash, fully charged batteries flash button is blue but it just doesnt want to flash, it makes a sound everytime you try to flash it same is when you have the speedlite mounted on a dslr (5dmk2) -

Price good, build quality good, but i'm not lover of the flash light pattern. It seems very harsh in some parts of the frame. However; for the price and build quality, i cannot fault it!

Great Flash gun at a reasonable price like the metal shoe plate on flash gun

New to flash lites so it took a while to find out the best settings for me,it works well at the moment so I’m not going to change it.

I’m not sure why you would spend a small fortune on the Canon product given that you can buy this K&F Concept flash gun at this sort of bargain price and it does everything you can do with the costlier model.First of all, the build quality of this unit is outstanding for the money. It has an excellent LCD display which unlike some units I’ve tried, is clear and easy to read.The tripod mount on the unit is very well designed. The unit also comes with a durable case and a mini diffuser/softbox is included so you might want to hold off buying extra items until you’ve unboxed this little beauty.The device has proved very flexible both as a bounce off the ceiling and when diffused in a medium sized soft box.Simply set TTL metering on and away you go. Once you’re confident, the unit is easy to operate in manual mode where the creative opportunities really get going. Just dial in exposure compensation, flash power, and so on until you achieve the sort of effects you like.I’ve noticed that some reviewers have mentioned that the unit draws a good deal of battery power but this is easily remedied by using rechargeable high capacity nMh batteries. Look for ones with the largest mAh rating you can afford and avoid alkaline ones because they are designed for other uses.This unit is designed for professional use and the light it can put out requires effective power. Having said all that, There is an external mains power option so you can use it without any power worries if you’re in a studio. The unit also performs brilliantly in remote mode.Overall, I highly recommend this unit. I’ve recently bought three items by K&F Concept and each one of them has been such great value for money.I’ve included some pictures of this unit because I am very impressed with the build quality.Good stuff!

This flash has all of the features that the original manufacturer Speedlights provide. ETTL, manual etc. You can change the flash power output and it has exposure compensation. I find the backlight helpful in darker environments. What is impressive too is the flash comes in a durable case and a diffuser is also provided to soften and spread light. For of camera use there is a small flash stand provided- you'll need a hot shoe transmitter/receiver trigger set to use this but it is very useful! Great starting point for beginners learn g the ropes through to pros who already have the gear and want to add to their collection. Highly recommended and don't forget to buy some high capacity rechargeable batteries. Happy shooting!

Same as cannon original
