I looking at buying the sunpak D3600U flash for my canon camera but know nothing about the different Better Beemers there are several models which is a good one to buy. Will be using for bird photography.

Thanks

The several models are for specific Flashes Look up your flash so you purchase the appropriate model of the beemer

the better beemer models only talk about canon flashes not sunpak for their models

You want to use a flash for bird photography? How far away will the birds be? A waste of money and time.

Better Beemer has been my go to for years. Cheap, light, and does the job. But my flash without it is good up to 40 feet or so outside.

I have not seen "better Beamer" for anything other than Canon and Nikon.
However, I am sure if you call a supplier like B & H someone could tell you which one would work for your application...

Your lack of understanding of bird photography is only outdone by your trollish useless comments.

Why do you use a beemer for bird photography? I have seen people using them.

That used to be true but now they also indicate which Sigma, Pentax, Metz, Minolta and "others" that will fit. If your flash isn't listed, use the link provided by mborn and measure the flash head. The fresnel lens is the same on all models. You're selecting the size and angle of the ears that go against the sides of the flash.

Simply put, the Beamer focuses the flash into a narrower beam which will project farther. Good for dull, overcast, shadowy situations and can add a catch light to the eyes.

Beamers are bright blue eyed girl blonde 2-5 year olds that came into our studio for portraits in the early 60's.
