Anyone here have a Promaster 7500EDF ?

The specs for the 7500edf flash look pretty good and the price is attractive. I have read reports on other forums that the promaster line of flashes can be quite good, other folks relegate this brand to the junk pile immediately. I am interested in

- Bounce / Tilt
- Quality of construction
- HSS capability
- Wireless slave mode
- Short flash duration (full pulse width)

Since these features as a whole seem to be hard to get in a single inexpensive flash, maybe this can fit the bill. If anyone has this flash and can comment on these features please post your experiences.

Also, please post a pic of the back of the flash if you can. Why don't flash manufacturers/retailers put a picture of the back of a flash on their websites??!! Even google image searches come up empty for lots of flash interfaces. As a photog I need to *use* the flash, so a picture of its interface might be in order!!!!

Check out the Promaster 7500EDF website. No back pics. Now look at Canon's Speedlite site and see that all 3 speedlites are shown fron and back. Hmmm... maybe seeing the flash interface is important

Don't have the 7500, so I can't help you with the specifics of what you want to know, but I do have the 5250dx and I'm very happy with it--no performance issues at all, it is far from junk imho.

Thanks mprince, after hearing form Codiac 2600 here, Ive almost decided to just get the pentax 360 and call it a day. Using wireless triggering or with a cable one could bounce the flash shooting portrait and its probably good enough. :shrug:

Too bad the pentax 540 is so much more $$$, its double the price of the 360
