Would like to try this flash with a Nikon D70s. Would I be able to bounce the flash off a high ceiling?

I have heard that one should not use these old manual flashes with new digital cameras as they emit an electric pulse that is hundreds of times more powerful than the new flashes expressly designed for digital. I was using my Vivitar 283 for a while with my Lumix micro 3/4s cameras and it worked fine but I stopped after I heard it may damage the electronics of the camera.

Yes but these old flashes puts out more voltage tgan your body can handle. it will fry the cameras flash circuitry without sometype of voltage limiting device. i think you would be better off with entry model Nikon ttl supported flash.

Of course, but the light will dissipate so much you will lose much if it's effectiveness. Nice flash

Hi, I also have high ceilings. I have the chain fully extended and the light is beautiful. I love it!

works great with D7000, wireless receiver has hot foot stand, but no connect to camera through hotshoe, just a mount to hold. You can try to get another hotshoe to mount to tripod. I would not let it hang, will loosen GPS port on side. Yes flash will fire when wired with remote timer to camera. timer has worked great for me.

It works with the D90 but whether it's the right choice is up to you. If you want the most light possible in dark situations, it could be! If you just need a speed light to bounce light off the ceiling for home photos, you would do well with an SB-600 or SB-700.

Can Be - The GN for this flash is relatively low since it's designed for close up work, within a foot or two. However, it's probably fine as a fill light or if you're in the habit of using a 50mm lens or wider as a portrait lens. Personally I like shooting portraits with focal lengths greater than 100mm and using at least a couple of lights at an angle and not directly head-on. For glamor lighting (head on lighting) I use an A-B ringflash with w/ 32inch softbox, I don't use this for portraits but for specific fashion shoots and clothing designers.

I would love to hear about a review of this sigma vs the canon flashes. as i have a sx20 and i need a large flash for large dim rooms.

It doesn't obstruct the on-camera flash of the D800, but the flash may not have full coverage at 24mm nor enough "reach" at 120. I use the on-camera flash for fill and in situations I don't have my speed light handy. For most uses it works just fine.

You can angle it up & down as well as side to side. So if you need to angle and bounce the flash you're good to go.

I think so. It is great on my D7100. I'm using it to shoot jumping horses from across a 70' wide arena.

You shouldn't base the Flash on the camera. Base your flash selection on what you want to use it for. This flash will work well for both indoor and outdoor shooting. Has decent range.

HVLF20M is what I own. I highly recommend it. it's relatively compact, inexpensive and a great flash. I love the bounce feature that allows you to bounce the flash off the ceiling for those indoor shots. Makes those indoor pictures PERFECT!

I purchased the YN-468 for my Nikon D3200 and it performs beautifully. I see no reason why it would not work on the D7100. it also works as a slave with the D 3200 which was quite a pleasant surprise for me. This flash is well worth the price and I would buy another in a heartbeat.

I had it on the 600ex rt. firing is not an issue. However, it might be just me, this hot shoes and the flash just don't seems to lock nicely. Either screw too loose or not tight enough. Once the flash fell out and hit the ground.

I bought mine to use as a remote flash and it is great for that..and not expensive. On my D7000 and other Nikon DSLR, it will not work TTL(through the lens). It will work in Auto Flash[A] mode and in Manual, the setting for remote. You can set the flash level on the unit. Price is attractive but lack of functions on DSLR camers is not. You need to get one of the newer speedlights as mentioned in the answer by Joe M. to use as an "on" camera flash.

No, the Rogue would dwarf this small flash. What you need is something like this: Fotasy DF90EX Professional Omni-Bounce Diffuser for Canon Flash Speedlite 90EX (White)It softens the light by sending it up and around the room and bouncing it back, in effect using the walls as a light source. If you get one, don't use it outdoors because without something to bounce the light from (the sky doesn't count) it just consumes power from your flash.

Yes. Rotates 180 and you can do different angles to bounce the flash off the ceiling or wall.

I have a D7000 and these work great. But you should be able to trigger the Alien Bee with just the flash.
