You get what you pay for. All of the items work but for me the TTL Flash cord is the most cheaply made item in the package. I had to add rubber washers to the flash connecting end to keep it from spinning while the flash is connected. It now works fine. I also had to send back all the batteries and the charger because they did not work. They were also returned promptly. Overall, still worth it for the money.

Bought this item from a local camera shop... boy was I supprised, used to use the stofen plastic bouce box, man what-a-difference. This thing works great, it raises the flash so high, and softens it just right, really gives your shots that nice soft look. Also, keep in mind that this cuts upto 2 stops of flash power, so as with all diffusers, bring either a extra set of bateries, or invest in a turbo battery(400 bucks, but makes recycle time nonexistant).
This little flash is a great slave flash - it uses your camera's flash as a trigger (I set my camera's flash to 1/128th power, so its doesn't light the subject, but still triggers the Metz flash). I like that you can set this little flash to the side of a subject for nice modeling light - and you can place your camera way away (I've tried 60feet or so), use a long lens and still get great exposures. I bought a second one - the two Metz C28's work together beautifully and there is nothing to set up - they just work : ).
Using this flash with my Canon S5. E-TTL seems to work well as long as there's no converter attached. Took a 65ft shot using max zoom and subject was well exposed. That's about as far as I'll ever need with this camera. I also have a Raynox 6600 wide angle converter to 24mm(S5 only goes to 36mm). This flash doesn't automatically go to 24mm. But manually setting it to 24mm is easy enough. The flash was able to cover the entire field of view. Recycling time is about 5 seconds with fresh Nimh batteries. Was thinking about the 430ex but, couldn't justify the price for my meager needs.
Why am I taking the trouble to review something so small and seemingly insignificant? Well, in short, it's great piece of gear.
Originally, I bought this, along with a Paramount Hotshoe to Household cord when I first started playing with off camera flash. It was great, because the 15' paramount cord was usually long enough, but it it wasn't, I could use $2 extension cords to extend the reach, rather than $40 PC-Sync extension cords. Other than the widely available, super cheap extension cords, the household plug is infinity more durable than PC Sync connectors.
What do I use this for now that I've gone wireless? With shoe flashes that don't have PC Sync ports, or wired sync ports of any type for that matter, you have to sync with ... Read More:

Always wanted 580, but was not sure from where to buy. last i decided to go to amazon. and i finded it with some of bonus items. price was much agreeable coz in my country the price is around $600, no bonuses. I love the result and would like to buy some more items in future.
The SB 50DX is just the ticket for the older Nikon cameras. The SB 50DX speedlight is superb with the N80 - providing TTL metering and a wide range of settings. Even better, if you shoot with film, the SB 50DX is readily available in the used market for $50-75. What an amazing price for a flash unit that retailed for more than $200 in early 2004. For digital flash, the SB 50DX works well with the older models, but check carefully. For example, the D70 and D50 have iTTL metering - which is not supported by the SB 50DX. But for other digital models such as the D1, the SB 50DX is fully functional.
