Many people who are interested in the Lighting With Portable Flash Workshop, who have yet to invest in a separate flash unit, ask me for advice on purchasing a flash.
Since I can only talk about my experiences and the equipment that I’ve used, I’m reluctant to give anyone advice about anything beyond my experience. I think that the best I can do is provide information that will let the person asking for advice decide for themselves.
When it comes to my experience with flash, I’ve found that the Vivitar 283′s and Vivitar 285′s are what work best for me.
Here are some links showing the equipment that I use when it comes to flash photography.
