Yes. And the simplicity deceives. The electronic ttl features
work perfectly and unobtrusively. Using the manual, and
auto/thyristor features, with that large lcd, also work
flawlessly. The battery seems to last forevever.

And lets face it - it looks and feels wonderful in the bauhaus
sense of - form following function. The size and weight make it
absolutely - don't leave home without it. And given the size and
weight - it actually packs a hell of a punch.

I've had a quite a few of the tiny, cheap strobes, considering
them more or less disposable, over the years. The SF20 does not
fall into this category in any way shape or form.
