This
is a compilation of different flashes from big brands and third party
manufacturers. Hope it helps you choose a flash for your camera and/or
strobist system. This was put together because I hoped that it would answer
many beginner questions. If you see a correction or want a flash added feel
free to send me the info but please also send the source for
verification. |
