Hi,
I am Fujifilm FinePix S602Z user. I am planning to buy Achiever 260T. Is it good and economy? I need advice on flash under S$40. Thanks in advance for help.

it's not a fully manual flash. the 260T is an automatic flash where there is a sensor that cuts off the flash when the lighting is sufficient.

you could do without the "............." which makes your sentences hard to read.

Check out the following article. The 260T has the automatic model that's being discussed in it.

Yes, it has Auto and Manual Exposure(Flash must be compatible to your camera body) and Manual ISO/aperture adjustments. However, the down side of this flash is that it will zoom only from 35-85mm mechanically. To get 28mm, you'll have to add a piece of diffuse plate supplied with the purchase. To get 24mm or wider, you'll have to add an Omni Bounce.

IMO, it is better than those Automatic TTL flash because you have the exposure under you control.
