Great deal, Ken. You're going to like that flash. You might want to add
the Kirk magnifier for nature shoots. I'm very pleased with that combo.
I've found I have to watch out for two things to avoid quirky problems.
One is clean contacts. If they're not perfectly clean on both camera
and flash, I have problems. Two is well charged batteries. When they
get low, the flash will behave erratically before it stops cycling. But
with a good set of batteries and clean contacts, the unit performs
beautifully.

For those considering enabling themselves with this flash, I recently
purchased one from B&H
for a lower price than listed in their most recent magazine listed
price. In
Pop Photo's latest issue it is listed @ B&H for$239.00 USD. In B&H's
latest
Source book (the one that's about 1.5 " thick), its listed for $199.95.
When the B&H operator told me the magazine listed price, I mentioned
that it
was a lower price in my just received Source book. He excused himself
for a
minute and returned and told me I could have it for the lower price.
On my
receipt it was billed @ 239.00 with a $39.00 discount.
FWIW
