Sunpak is one of the top independent flash makers, and this is an excellent flash unit for most Canon EOS 35mm and APS SLR cameras (see below), but not the 300X or any digital models. It's powerful, has a bounce, swivel and zoom head, AF illuminator, and provides fully automatic dedicated TTL flash control. This one's in nice condition, and comes with Alkaline batteries.

The flash head tilts up to 90 degrees and swivels over 270 degrees for bounce flash in vertical or horizontal positions. Bounce flash gives much softer, more natural lighting than direct flash. Wide range 28-85mm zoom flash head with wide angle, standard and telephoto positions, to give extra coverage for wide angle lenses, and extra range with telephotos.

Powerful Guide numbers of 24-44 (m), 78-143 (feet) with ISO 100 film, depending on the zoom setting. Theoretical maximum range of over 28m (92 feet) with 50mm f/1.4 lens and ISO 100 film, but as with all flashguns, actual range will depend on the conditions. Comprehensive control panel on the rear with film speeds from 25 to 800, apertures from f/1.4 to f/22 and distances from 1.8 to 28 meters (5.9 to 94 feet).

TTL (Through The Lens) automatic exposure system for extremely accurate exposures. Works automatically in all exposure modes, including Program. Automatic fill-in flash in daylight, including slow sync flash on suitable cameras. Works in the camera's autofocus mode, and has a large AF illuminator on the front to assist focusing in low light. This operates automatically when required with suitable cameras.

This Sunpak MZ440AF-CA flashgun is quite compact at around 130mm tall, and lightweight at only 290g (without batteries). Takes 4x standard AA batteries, including disposable alkaline (supplied) or rechargeable types. Captive battery cover which can't be easily dropped or lost.

An excellent flash unit for Canon EOS film users!

Condition: Excellent+++ (8.5/10)

Compatibility
This flash is compatible with almost all Canon EOS 35mm cameras including the EOS 1, 1V, 1V HS, 1N, 1N RS, 5 (A2), 3, RT, 100, 10, 30, 33, 50, 50E, 55QD, 300, 300V, 500, 500N, 600, 620, 630, 650, 700, 750, 850, 1000, 1000F, 1000N, 1000FN, 3000, 3000N, 3000V and 5000, plus the equivalent Rebel, Elan and Kiss models and many others. It also works with the APS EOS IX and IX-7 (IX Lite) models, but NOT the EOS 300X (Rebel T2, Kiss 7) - see below.

Fully auto exposure in all modes, including program. TTL (Through The Lens), OTF (Off The Film) flash metering for the most accurate exposures possible. Automatic setting of shutter speed and aperture in appropriate modes, with flash ready signal in the viewfinder.

TTL flash units like this one are NOT suitable for EOS digital cameras, or the EOS 300X (Rebel T2, Kiss 7). These use a completely different E-TTL dedicated flash system, and you need Canon's own EX series flash units, or the latest independent flash units with E-TTL from independent makers which are specifically stated to be digital compatible. Depending on the camera/flash combination, TTL flashes on digital cameras will either not fire at all, or will only work on full power (manual). Not suitable for Canon manual focus cameras, the EF-M or any other make.
