    Did a little piece on my latest purchase here.

    It's the cheapest flash that offers HSS and though it's a little finnikey, it has great potential.

    Hey, thanks for writing about this flash. I'm also looking the get one. Where did you get it from, directly from Yongnuo or eBay?
    Also, what is it like compared to SB-600?
    Thanks

    I got it off the UK seller on eBay - took three days to deliver!
    Compared to the SB-600, it's a beaut. A little bit flimsey-er, I'd say. But you get the impression it'd take a decent fall without much damage (haven't seen the element, mind you!) It's probably as good, if not better than the 600 now, but only because the Nikon one is a little dated now.

    Other than that it seems faster at recycling, has a better battery chamber than previous YN products and obviously the HSS is a real treat! It doesn't feel as sturdy though, it all feels a bit 'loose' - that all said, it does what you'd expect and more for the price!
