Pros: versatile, well priced, solid build, goes down to 1/128 power,modeling light,
Cons: none

This flash is a great option if you want to do some off-camera lighting.
It's well built, powerfull, feature packed...this is a great flash!
The different options give you full control when used in manual, you can fine tune the power output and it's ability to go till 1/128 is great when you just need a tiny bit of light...oh and it goes on 1/3 steps, it's my best flash.
The slave mode is responsive...
The controls are intuitive, the back turns it's lights on when you modify the power (so usefull when in pitch black environements and ankward postitions where you don't want to be looking for the "light" button).

Another good thing is that it isn't so old compared to other flashes sought after by tight budget people who want to get into off camera lighting.
