Awesome power, but bulkyThis is an excellent flash for anyone who wants more power. But what you can't tell from the pics is that is is definitely bulkier than the 430 EX II. That might be fine for many. But my wife hated it when we had it. It was just too big and heavy. And yes, it's only about 1.5 or so ounces more than the 430 EX II. But walking around or taking pictures all day, it can tire you out. And it didn't feel correctly balanced on the XSi, due to how small that camera is. For my amateur purposes, it was overkill. I just needed a flash that takes excellent pics and has great features. I suspect that for most people who want to just take great shots, the 430 would suffice.
So why the 5 five stars? Because objectively speaking, it is an excellent, powerful flash with pro-level features. If I had a better camera, I would buy this again. I don't think it's justified that I take away any stars for a product that, for its purpose, is excellently executed.

Thermal shutdown - fixed?I have an SB900 and agree with all the positive comments posted in other reviews, however I want to challenge those who are posting stories about thermal shutdown to supply some additional information about what situations really cause the flash to shutdown.
I've been using my SB900 for several months now, and I've never experienced a problem with the unit shutting down, so I thought I'd try a simple test.
I installed a set of brand new lithium ion batteries in my SB900, set it to full power manual mode, and hit the flash button manually as soon as the ready light lit - that's about one full-power shot every 1 or 2 seconds. I did this until the batteries were drained (that is, until it got to be about 10 seconds between flashes - that's a few hundred full-power flashes in a row).
Never once did the thermal protection circuit kick in...in fact, the temperature display barely moved for the first 50-100 shots, and throughout the test, even when I could feel the batteries getting warm, it never went much above the 50% mark. My test was indoors at an ambient temperature of about 70 degrees.
I tried other settings - repeat flash, flash with my D3 firing at maximum continuous speed, etc. But I could never even come close to driving the flash to shutdown. So perhaps Nikon fixed the issue, I'm just plain lucky - or it has to do with the type of batteries or maybe other accessories used.
With this issue out of the way, I'm able to give the unit an unqualified 5 star rating as it's simply the most capable and easy to use unit I've ever owned.

| Features• Provides professional-style diffused lighting from your camera¿s pop-up flash

• Ingeniously mounts via the camera¿s flash shoe Adjustable for center positioning of any pop-up flash regardless of size
• Works in any camera mode (ex: Program, Aperture priority, etc.)
The foot broke after less than a week.I had high expectations for this product but, the foot was way too stiff to be used in the hotshoe of a camera. The type of plastic they use is highly brittle and it isn't flexible at all. By the design of the foot, they are supposed to flex inward to hold the diffuser on. This is absolutely poor design however, as I stated, because the plastic does not give at all. It snapped like cheap plastic as I inserted it into my hot shoe on my Nikon.
The overall quality is poor. The diffuser section is extremely hard to remove from the black arms and adjust to the various heights using the built in holes.
If they had used a better plastic for the black part of the product (the arms and foot) then I might be okay with it but, as of now I think it is supremely cheap. Judging by the material, it seems like it costs them less than a dollar to make these. They are so poorly made. I was highly disappointed.
Compared to another product that I purchased, (it will remain unnamed) that reflects the built in flash to the ceiling using a mirror, the plastic used and overall build quality was MUCH HIGHER than the Gary Fong Puffer.
Judging by the materials they used in this product, I doubt I will be buying any more Gary Fong products unless they make changes and announce them. A Puffer version 2.0 would be nice. They could learn something, from the previously unmentioned competitor in my review, about foot mounts and what to make them out of.

| Features• Exposures accurate down to a tenth-of-a-stop for both ambient and electronic flash light readings (in full-stop mode). Meter can also display shutter-speeds and apertures in half or third-stop increments to mirror the exposure settings on your camera
• Sekonic RT-32 Radio Transmitter Module installs easily, enabling wireless, Selective Quad Triggering of PocketWizard-enabled electronic flash units up to 100’ away
• Dust-proof and splash-proof (JIS Standard Water Resistance Class 4). Weather-sealed against dust storms, nor’easters, and the occasional rogue wave
• Incident readings of three-dimensional subjects are taken using the Lumisphere fully extended, and retract the Lumisphere for selective, narrower-field readings for flat-field objects such as artwork
• Up to 9 readings can be stored in memory for meter averaging and contrast evaluations in Aperture and Shutter priority modes
My first handheld meter-works great.I bought this meter because I bought a manual focus lens for my Nikon D50. This camera body does not meter with the old manual lenses. After a week of using it, I can say it performs well. It offers incident and reflected measurements. However, to switch from incident to reflected, you have to take off the lumisphere and mount the lumigrid. It offers shutter and aperture priority modes. I prefer aperture priority-choose an aperture, and the meter selects a shutter speed. You can choose 2 ISO settings. The meter will stay on ISO 1 until you push ISO 2 for a brief reading. When you let go of the ISO 2 button, it goes back to ISO 1.
The Sekonic L-358 also does flash metering(reflected and incident). This is helpful to me because my D50 will not do TTL flash with my older flash units-Nikon SB-80DX. It has flash corded mode-connect flash and meter with sync cord. It also has cordless flash mode. When you press the measurement button, you will have up to 90 seconds to fire the flash. It will even measure multiple flash bursts. However, it will not read them all if the bursts are too quick. I'd recommend leaving at least 1/2 second between bursts to take a reading. There's also flash to ambient light ratio readings.
Another reason I chose this model is you can buy optional spot meter attachments for it-1, 5, and 10 degree heads.
It also has many features I've never used and probably never will, so I can't comment on those. Such as wireless radio flash triggering(I think optional accessories are required), memories, averaging of multiple readings, and more.
Something that you should consider-not all lenses transmit the EXACT same amount of light. In theory they should, but that's not always the case. For example, one of my lenses needs about 1/3-1/2 stop more light than the meter suggests. Another needs about 2/3-1 stop more. And another lens just about agrees with the Sekonic. I think older zooms are more prone to needing more light. If you're getting underexposed images, run tests and take notes with each lens you plan on using with the meter.
And another thing-it uses a CR123A battery. Those can be hard to find, so carry an extra.
