The Vivitar 2800 automatic electronic flash has a four-position head that gives your pictures soft, even lighting. The auto Thyristor circuitry has a fast recycle time that gives you up to 1,500 flashes per set of batteries. Its auto light exposure has a range of 3 to 40 feet, and its unique control panel is easy to use. The sufficient-light indicator lets you know if your subject has the proper lighting. It has two automatic exposure settings and accepts Vivitar PC cords. This flash requires four AA batteries, which aren"t included.

REVIEWS:
1) Solid, reliable unit: Guess what? Some of us still own and use film cameras, often with expensive lenses that outperform our digital snap-shot cameras. Well, if the original strobe is blown out, or gives up the ghost -- Vivitar still makes and Amazon still sells this excellent and versitile and inexpensive electronic flash. My old Vivitar gave, and this new one has stepped right in. Hate tha red-eye? Just tilt it up for ceiling bounce, no shadows, no red-eye, just open up a stop.
2) Old 35mm camera user: I had this same flash attachment for about 30 years and loved it. The old flash died and I had to look for a new one never guessing that I could still buy the same flash,good things never go out of style. I hope I get 30 years out of this one. I have sold many of my pictures many take with this flash, I am not a professional, but love the extra money. I would recommend this flash to everyone, I sometimes use it with my digital camera, but I like it best with film.
3) Auto shut off maddening: Don"t buy this, get a 283/285HV instead. It powers down after 5mins, when you"re least expecting it. I"ve missed so many shots because the flash was not ready when I was. Poor design feature which cannot be overridden.
4) Vivitar 2800 auto flash is nice accessory: I purchased the Vivitar Auto flash when i ordered my camera last year. It is a great accessory! My pictures come out very clear indoor and at night. I love it!
5) Vivitar 2800 AE Flash: A good little inexpensive flash for general use at a good price. It is a vast inprovement over those under powered pop-ups. It works well with digital cameras (Fuji FinePix 6900z). If you are considering a digital camera, an external flash is a must! The improvement in picture quality is stunning.
