Originally posted by T Evergreen I'm still sitting on the fence on buying the Bolt and likely to stay there unless I can find someone using one on a K-50. I also noticed that the price has gone back up to the regular selling price of $179. If anyone is using the Bolt with a K-50, I'd like to hear how it works in High Shutter Speed Sync and P-TTL. Thanks.
If this flash is anything like the
Bower, then I would suggest you stay away from it. I purchased the Bower and IMHO the Bower was not built well. I ended up returning it and buying the Metz 44. In looking at the features, and photos, it seems the Bolt may be a better build quality the Bower and comes with some attractive features, but I would still point you towards the Metz. NOTE: The Metz doesn't have Hight Speed Flash Sync and lacks in wireless featurs, however it fits the bill in all other respects very well. Also, for $200, I think it is worth the jump up from the $179 for the Bolt. You will get compatibility, great build quality, and firmware updates to ensure compatibility for time to come.
