I purchased the DF-383-NIK for the Nikon system. I was hesitant as others had comments regarding built quality and out of the box performance mostly DOA units. I can’t comment on that as the unit we received has performed perfectly. The TTL and fill flash work as a Vivitar should. I’ve used Vivitar Flash units for 20 years and they are robust.
Power zoom is abit louder than expected and the internal light is of little value in most cases as its lit only from one side of the LCD screen, unit goes to sleep by itself requiring reset. But other than that it works as advertise. TTL metering. Works as a slave (S-switch on the rear) and can be triggered. Its a big unit and after using it for 2 separate jobs I can rate it a solid 4 Stars. Minus (-1) one as it not built as well as the old Vivitar’s or anywhere near as solid as Nikon SL SB’s units (which I have 600/800). Battery access door is cheaply made, Oh yea order some rechargeable AA batteries,I use Energizers 2,450’s and Sanyo’s.
Excellent value for photographers using there 1st ext flash and pro’s alike.
Used on a D90/300 and D700 bodies for reference.
