This flash has a ton of useful bells and whistles. Though I haven't had much opportunity to put this flash through it's paces, I can tell you that it functions as described. I haven't noticed any significant problem with the model light in catch lighting applications, especially if the subject or photographer changes their position to get the desired effect. Though the model light can be shut off, I find it handy to guide or suggest composition.
The swivel head allows for cord desired placement and to assist with off camera shooting. Included multiple threaded lens rings allows photographers to use a variety of lens. Flash settings, various lens, model light on or off, off camera ability, and a bunch of other features, all combine to provide a wide range of possibilities and creative uses to the photographer, that far exceed the usual macro ring flash. *Please note, a lot of functions can only be used in combinations of buttons, or multi-functions found in a single button. Read your manual to get the most out of this very versatile flash.

Works like a charm with my Nikon D750+Tokina 100mm! A must have for shooting macro. Well-built and super intuitive menu system.

Worth the price. Been using for several month. Great package, comes with 4 adapters for different lenses and nice fabric pouch as a sweet little bonus, which actually can be hang on your belt and used as camera bag:) it fits small dslr with kit or 50mm lens.
This was the best bet for my buck. I did quite a research before buying.
Highly recommend

Positives:
> Flash appears to be of high quality
> Works on all my Nikon cameras (D80; D200; D500)
> Various adapters for most lenses included, tested at 62 mm, thread runs smoothly
> Operating instructions in German
> Storage bag included
> Flash function can be adjusted to both right and left
> Only the light can be switched on
> Flash function buttons illuminated
Flash for macro shots will soon be tested outdoors, indoor test was positive.
For me, a clear purchase recommendation and worth 5 stars for the price

The price, the performance and the overall presentation are great.
Oh yes, the flash too, of course.
I can only recommend buying it.

I was looking for a reasonably priced TTL ring flash for a Nikon FX dSLR body coupled with the unbelievable Sigma 180mm f/2.8 macro lens. Out of the budget options this one had good reviews and was the only one to include a 77mm attachment ring in the box. So I bought it, bought a step down adapter for the large diameter Sigma lens and have been positively surprised ever since. It's true that it took a bit of tweaking to get the TTL exposure right (mine seems to consistently underexpose by about 1 stop, so I always crank up the flash exposure by +1), but once I got the hang of its behaviour it produces very nice results. So my only remaining wish is that it lasts me a long long time, because I am enjoying it very much.

Works without problems on a Nikon 5100 DSLR, two flash tubes, one on the left, one on the right (if you turn the unit on the lens, also up and down), which can be switched separately, additional LED modeling light, which also works as an auxiliary light for the AF (can be switched off). Test shots were exposed precisely.
The adapter rings for the filter thread on the lens are solidly made of metal. The workmanship makes a good impression overall.

As expected from K&F a good product! Works well, many possibilities and clear in use. The macro photos look much better with (fill-in) flash light. No problem to work with F/18 at ISO 100 and shutter speed 1/200.
The fact that they supply a bag with it, with the right compartment layout, shows how they focus on the convenience for the customer.
