I own and use weekly for my macro-photography, a Nissin Di866 speedlight.
An identical, Nikon compatible unit is now available on eBay, with a few accessories: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissin-Speedlite-Di866-Shoe-Mount-Flash-/201676391934?hash=item2ef4d985fe:g:yuIAAOSwTA9X6Alb

Thanks for the heads up. I always wanted to know about Nissan flashes so I just bought it to find out. Take care & ...

I believe that you will be pleased with the rapid recycle time, and the power output. Do you plan to use this for macro illumination, or general photography? I want your opinion based on your field use.

I will test the Nissan Di866 on all types of photography. My pro work is about 80% macro (fishing product assembly & catalog pictures) and 20% event photography. My amateur work is anything and everything; often those amateur pictures overlap if/when I sell those shots to magazines or other authors. OR like yesterday when I shot an outdoor facility dedication where I'll end up giving away a photo to each of the participating agencies and sell one (with a short article) to an outdoor magazine. I'm looking forward to trying-out speedlight; I've wondered about that model ever since it came on the market.
