Yongnuo YN-560 III

Pros: Cheap, especially, when bought as part of a bunch deal. Great outdoors, when close-up shooting. Great start-up setup for those, who want to run "on-a-budget".

Cons: No TTL, indoors or in macro setups 1/128 (+0.7) is way too overpowering, but still manageable with fixed primes, by using larger F number.

Opinion: As I mentioned above, for specific needs, it is still value for that price. Just want to point to another spec, that not many know - Yongnuo is better used only with Ni-MH batteries and charger, designed for this particular need. Lithium batteries will kill flash faster, cause heating and finally ruin the flash unit. For still life setups - great, used in groups with a softbox and colored filters.
