Hi Photokaki,

I'm still new on this interest.

Anyone can help me on this speedlite review.

Canon 430x speedlite is expensive RM 1050 but Nisssin about RM 525.

Is the Nissin speedlite performance good?

Now my target is to get canon 50mm f1.8 and Nissin Di622 speedlite.

I hope this combination is good.

Pls give good comment to me.

Thank

525? hrm. the other day i saw Nissin going for RM 595.

the one i'm considering now is
http://www.sunpak.jp/english/products/pz42x/index.html

The guide number is nearly the same as nissin.

Got any review on the Sunpak Speedlite?

Sunpak PZ42x about RM 675 lah.

OK. this is the Nissin.

sorry, it won't let me link dynamic URL.

this is the sunpak

but mu budget is about RM 950 for 3 item.

1. Nissin Speedlite Di622 ---> RM 525
2. Canon EF 50mm f1.8 ----> RM335
3. Sanya Eneloop 4 pcs ----> RM69

Total is RM929
If buy Sunpak speedlite over oredy liao.

Canon EF 50mm f1.8 ----> around RM270 can get lei.

maybe he want to include filter.

Where u buy?

A fellow forumer call vladimir. u can find his thread in the camera section under garage sales.

i think is a old thread.

I c it before.

Huh ? What do u mean ?

u mean second hand 1 or new.

can u search me the thread.

His Thread

u can ask him there.

Thank brother.

I pm him oredy.

Hope can get RM270.

I will direct buy from him lol.

np. that's what forum is for

Isend the payment to him oredy. Hope can receive by tomorrow.

Thx men.

Really make me save some

so fast. well i bought from him too.

I do thing fast 1.

I aim long time ago.

Now only 1 to buy.

So need to do fast fast lol.

The Nissin speedlite, I will buy from shashinki.com.

Cost me about RM525

I also wanna ask how Nissin speedlight vs. Canon 430EX ??
If it's the same, i will look for Nissin, budget limited lah (

wah...so fast hah..
so how much you bought 50mm f1.8?
consider to get it wan when go to pulau pinang

@dazzle

Let us know once u've purchased the Nissin Di622, would like to know how it performs. I need another 2 flash to serve as slave.

i yet to see whether the "Wireless Remote Flash - Built-in slave feature" on this speedlite working or not with remote transmitter or with a master.

i'm looking for sunpak..seen it at BB Plaza. sunpak PZ42X vs Canon 430ex. but maybe looking for PZ42X..

Just get the 430ex, no regrets

Trust only Nonac's speedlites for your Nonac EOS

err... u r ...580ex rite?

If im not mistaken, viking is using a 580 II.

Im also want to find a sunpak PZ42X oh....
430EX too expensive for me..... out of budget...
i think PZ42x is enough for my S5IS..

for safety matter...and budget constraint..maybe go for 430ex. ayaakk! no money lorr

For me the important thing is the guide number vs ur Lens distance.

I mean If u buy 70mm - 200 mm, is out of the range for the light to reach 200mm.

Normally Speed lite built up from 24mm to 105mm.

So choose the guide number that you needed. (got budget 1 lah)

For 430X is about 44m for 105mm focus and Nissisn is about nearly 44m.

So make nothing different to me.

But the 430x got LCD lah and alot of Menu in the program. Make a newbie confuse.

So i decide to get a easy Flash for me but it work big for me.

RM280 from the Penang guy.

Very cheap lah. U can buy it.

any review on this unit yet??

what u mean?
Review?
Now i have 2 type of speedlite in my hand.
1 is Nissin Di622(onwer is me) and canon 580EX(friend 1).
I going to do benchmarking on the Nissin.
I hope can post up some photo on the Nissin Di622 later.
If u are a newbie, i suggest u to buy Nissin Di622. Easy to use. plug and use.
i will update some new photo on my own thread gallery on this Sunday.
Pls take alook yeah.

i bought 50mm f/1.8 from vladimir as well... cost me Rm310 with the filter...




hmm... Nissin Di622 now only Rm450... I am thinking to get one also...

Actually Nissin is a good speedlite maker.

The speedlite panel look cheap abit but damn easy to use.

how long has you been using this? I mean you just bought it or?
so how's the result? nice?

just a week. But my friend also used this speedlite for a year.

Quality wise can handle Canon 430EX.

For the price cheaper that Canon 430EX.

Go for it.

ya... for the moment, i think get Di622 is enough d lo...

u are rite, we are not the pro camera men.But 1 day.

I tried once on the Nissin in indoor, the exposure seems ok on straight flash. Cycle time acceptable la... Just don't want to compare to 580EX II la.

But there are some problem on 3rd party....;

(1) Might hard to find those Omnibounch, Gary Fong dissucer on them.

(2) No wireless support. Play with ST-E2 wireless transmitter and you will be hook-up..

I still advise you to go original one la... More thing to play... More fun to have...

Anyway, recently I always use built-in flash! because no need to carry additional weight... and more comfortable to handheld...

realy?
very tempting now

yeah. RM 450. save me RM 150 from getting Sunpak. can use $$$ for CF.

where can get that price ? pls let me know, thanks
and how it compete with Sunpak ?

hi.. have u try out the slave function in di622 using ur 580ex as commander? is it working? just want to know since i'm thinking of getting di622 for cls.

yaya... for a speedlite, RM450 is not expensive i believe... and it comes with 1 year local warranty if I am not mistaken...



that is why lo... RM150 can get other things d...



you may refer to vladimir (http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=606203&hl=)... he is selling... but I am not sure whether the stock arrived already or not as I know previously he got SunPak only...

Does the Nissin has the plastic leg so it can stand ar?

I did not read that Nissin actually can do wireless flash, if it do... then really song la...

bro, yes it does support wireless flash... refer their website here...
