External Flash for S602Z

fruitybix · 26th December 2002

Hi all,

Am thinking of getting an extrenal flash for my 602Z. All I know about this things are brands i.e. Metz, Nikon and Vivitar.

I am looking at something at ard $100, but will want to learn more about external flash and how it works with the 602Z. e.g. high or low voltage, bounce theories, situations requiring it to be used etc.

Am really quite clueless about this, so appreciate any help you can get.

Thanks!!

and Merry Christmas!!!

There's been quite a couple of discussion on this in the past. You can do a search to find those threads.

Anyway most 602z users around here will recommend the Vivitar 285 HV (~$140) or the Metz 32z-1 (~$170). The Vivitar is slightly more powerful than the Metz but it can only tilt but not swivel. The Metz can do both. Additionally, it is much smaller and lighter than the Vivitar.
