Unlike Vivitar, which is just a label, Sunpak make their own units, and those of many camera mfg's (even latest Hasselblad). For an inexpensive flash, the quality is good. Sunpak's model 383, obviously made to resemble the 283, is around $90.-- Nick Hunter P.S. Of course the German flash has ASPH quality light ;) oh, no here I go again....
