 "Pleasantly surprised by the quality" 2010-02-26
By Aleksandr Belyarchik (Los Angeles, CA)
I picked up this flash here on Amazon due to the price, not being able to afford the Canon 430EX II and 580. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality when I received it. Yes, there are some things - i.e. plastic shoe mount, and the plastic battery holder that are not up to the standards, but I didn't expect more from a $100 flash. It looks massive on my 7D, and adds a little to the weight, but I like how it performs in low light situations that I'm constantly faced with.

I shoot ballroom dancing competitions, and the lights are very bad, making it almost impossible to be able to stop the action. I'm using Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens, and also will be getting a Canon 85mm f/1.8 to complement that.

As far as the features, they're all that you'd expect from a Canon flash. Opteka does have power! You'll be amazed at how it's able to light up the rooms, or bounce off the walls. Make sure that you get some good batteries to go along with it. I decided to go with Sanyo, due to some rave reviews.

To summarize, I think this is a decent piece of equipment, considering what you're paying for it. After playing with it for a day, it greatly improved all of my low light pictures, and now makes things much more easier when working with smaller apertures or fast shutter speeds.

 "Great flash" 2010-02-25
By B. Brown (Ohio)
Mine just came in the mail and ive been testing it out all day and it works perfectly with my Canon EOS rebel T1i. the built in diffuser works great and its perfect for bounce photography. like most other reviews yes the battery door does feel very loose...when its open. and i have yet to have any troubles with the batteries everything feels solid and secure and to me its fairly light. it is a great flash for the money, anybody looking to buy a new flash whether you are a beginner or a professional you should definitely invest in this flash, its easy on the wallet and like most opteka products I've used its good quality.

 "Decent flash for the price" 2010-01-23
By L. Marcucio (CT)
The flash did a decent job. I can now take pictures indoors at night with great lighting. A few complaints:

- flash is heavy. with my canon digital rebel eos xti, it got heavy!! My forearms were really burning after a couple of takes but i'm sure I'd have that with any external flash

- recharge took a while. i had to wait maybe 30 whole seconds before I could take the next one. maybe my battery was low but i only used it for a few takes before i started noticing.

- noisy. while it's recharging, this high pitch noise would stay humming and it can be annoying.



you get what you pay for and i think it was a decent purchase for the price. i'm still going to keep it and maybe keep extra batteries handy.

 "Opteka EF-600 for Canon" 2009-12-30
By KaufmanD
I was surprised and impressed for $[...] and it does have some nice features. I do believe that there is a design flaw with the battery compartment and the stand did not come with the unit. My Canon XSi did recognize the flash unit and I was able to control some features from the camera's LCD. All-in-all, I was happy with my purchase. Although, periodically, the flash shuts down (for no apparent reason) and the camera doesn't see it. If I reseat the batteries in the EF-600 and boot the camera, then all is well. Recycle time is not as fast as the 430 EX (not II), but it does the job when it works properly (sort-of strange to say it that way).



If Opteka would re-design the battery compartment, this would be a great value for the price. Good for amateurs on a budget, but not for the prosumer. I would spend the extra $$$s and go for the 430EXII

 "has a hard time conecting to camera" 2009-11-09

I loved this flash at first but now sometimes it will come on and some times it wont, Sometimes it connects with my camera some times it wont

 "Sample video showing the effectiveness of a multi-coated filter" 2009-11-25
By PhotoBuff
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1186O53WDESXI Using a flashlight, the video shows the glare reduction effectiveness of a high quality multi-coated filter, compared to a non coated one. Carefully notice how the glare is spread through out the whole glass on the non coated filter(right). A high quality multi-coated filter will not completely get rid of glare, but will reduce it noticeably and will not cause color shift. Even though good multi-coated filters are more expensive, but it's a lot cheaper to damage this than the camera lens.



The sole reason for buying a better camera, is to get better pictures. But, by trying to save money and buying a cheap, low quality multi-coated or non coated filter, kind of defeats the purpose of having a better camera.

 "Great value, works as expected" 2010-02-12
By William Hobbs (Atlanta, GA USA)
Feels well made, quality of the machining looks good. It locks firmly to my Nikon lens (100mm F2.8 E AIS), and attaches well to the Canon body (20D). There is a small amount of rotational play in the connection to the body, but I only notice it when I am looking for it.



As I expected from reading reviews in different places, it is a little thinner than it should be, so it allows the lens to focus a little bit past infinity, but I do not consider it a serious problem.



I was interested in purchasing some older manual focus lenses (specifically the 100mm) because they were significantly cheaper than a modern AF lens with optics of similar quality. For this purpose, the adapter is great. I have read that you can get similar adapters on Ebay for a little less money, but I would much rather stick with the reputation of Amazon and Fotodiox for a few bucks.



If you are in need of an adapter because you cannot get the lens you want in an EOS mount, but you would be spending $500+ on a lens, you might consider a higher quality adapter. For example, my brother has a 5D and several L lenses, and recently bought an anamorphic lens for work in film school. It came with the Fotodiox F to EOS adapter on it, but he will be upgrading to a higher quality adapter, as saving $50-100 on an adapter is not worth even a small sacrifice in quality for what he does.

 "Bad, bad, bad!" 2010-02-03
By Trim Damage (Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada)
I just bought one from Ebay. It costs me only $12. I believe it was made in China. I was so excited to receive it, and eager to try it on my Canon 40D camera with my Nikon AF-S 300mm ED IF lens. It worked poorly --- the image turned out blurred. I was a bit disappointed. I blamed on the poor design. But when I tried to remove the lens from the camera, the adapter and the lens got stuck firmly together. I looked at the adapter and the lens, praying that I could separate the two pieces by hand with all my might, I failed. I started to panic. I said to myself "what a waste (swearing a bit inevitably) --- a cheap $12 third party adapter permanently attaches to a $1000+ beautiful Nikon lens!!!". Next, I used a small screw driver to press on a little black hook that came with the adapter. Fortunately, I managed to separate the adapter from the lens. This lesson teaches me never use a third party product on any camera again. I literally wrote that on the box containing the adapter, fearing that another victim may be trapped. Night mare...I am still sweating...

 "OK for 1 day" 2010-01-30
By George Griffin (NYC)
It did seem too good to be true. Novoflex wants $270 for its adapter. Fotodiox has a "Pro" version ($90) which I've just ordered, thanks to Amazon's returns policy. The problem is the loose fit: tight on the Canon body but loose on all my Nikon lenses. It doesn't bother other users but it's just not acceptable for precision work on a fixed mount or hand-held.

 "Perfect camera lens adapter" 2009-12-08
By John Cote (West Palm Beach, Fl)
The adapter fit exactly right and allowed the use of all my Nikon F-2A lenses on the Canon Digital. Saved me a fortune in new lenses at an unbelievably cheap price.

 "Not so easy to use." 2009-11-23
By Marcio (Sao Paulo, Brazil)
Be careful, it may tend to get stuck if you try it on older Nikon lenses.
