Comments about Sunpak MZ-440AF TTL Shoe Mount Flash:
I am very happy with my new flash. I use it in my work (I'm teacher in a school) with very good results. I recommend it for not very large spaces (concert halls or classrooms too large). The diffusion of light is excellent. Very good at ISO 100 (125, 200) and amazing to ISO 400 (800). Great device for a very good price!

Comments about Sunpak MZ-440AF TTL Shoe Mount Flash:
I've had this for years--used it with my 9xi and now with a 7D. It gives better exposures than my Sigma flash costing 3x as much. As for the sturdiness, I haven't experienced any problems in that area, either. A decent bargain.
Comments about Sunpak MZ-440AF TTL Shoe Mount Flash:
I have owned two MZ-440AF flashes for the Minolta Maxxum. Both of them broke in two different places. The door for the batteries broke on the first one. On the second one, the shoe mount itself broke. The flash works fine but if not handled VERY gently, it will EASILY break!
