JC Penney Compact Zoom
4-23-25: Arrived today with a Canon AT-1 and a nice Canon 50mm F1.4 FD-mount lens. Of all that cool stuff this cheap flash turned out the be the only thing that works. Normally flashes come loaded with cancer from leaking alkaline batteries. This one arrived pristine. Charged right up and fired just fine. It came with the PC cable for old cameras before hot shoes, or those with dead ones. It tilts so you can flash the ceiling for more natural portraits, and the diffuser head slides out to adjust for different focal lengths. It doesn't rotate or pivot, but I'm amazed that it works at all.Click on any image to enlarge full screen in a new tab. Close tab to return.
