</ul>It's a manual flash, so no TTL. It's also the best damn speedlight on the market. Best of all, it's $200. It's the flash that many top names in the industry use, and it's build quality is second to none. I have two of the previous version (LP160), and they're great. Why do I have two? The first one was submerged in a foot of water and I thought it was ruined, so I bought another one. Guess what? That was 3 years ago, and after it dried out, that flash still purrs like a kitten. I've also seen one get run over by a car and still work.Try that with those Yin-Yang-Yong flashes. Ain't gonna happen. I can't in good faith recommend a &quot;rock solid&quot; setup on that budget. A good tripod head will cost you that much.</blockquote>
