My Sunpak 433D in some ways works better, since you can do a full dump
with it or 1/2, 1/4, etc. But it's so big that it really doesn't
match either the camera or the built-in flash as well as the 550FD.
Useful little bugger.
Ironically, the T flashes are too low to the ground to work with the
built-in flash. F280 would work if the head tilted. Oh well.
Vivitar saves the day, again.
