FREE: ٩(•̃•̃)۶ Vivitar 125 Camera Flash ٩(•̃•̃)۶

The listing, ٩(•̃•̃)۶ Vivitar 125 Camera Flash ٩(•̃•̃)۶ has ended.

This auction is only for the flash.
You can see that this flash has decent firepower. For some extra light to bounce off the walls or the ceiling, for some really nice shots, this puts out plenty. The battery compartment is clean, check it out, with no corrosion, and uses only 2AA batteries to pack that firepower that you see in the picture. The lettering and trim on the front panel could use some retouching, but there are no cracks, dings, or broken parts, and only some minor scratches. The lens is clean and clear.

NB1-> The camera is not included.
NB2->In some of the pics I didn't wait to let the batteries recharge the flash so in some shots the flash given off when it fires looks a bit attenuated. I didn't wait in those cases, but if you wait a few seconds the flash recharges fully, and the firepower is consistently strong for such a relatively small (2AA battery-powered) flash unit.

DSLR cameras:
I DO NOT advise connecting this to a DSLR hotshoe directly, unless you know for sure that you won't fry your camera's circuitry with the first few shots. There is, however, the Wein Hot Shoe to Hot Shoe/PC Socket Safe Sync Flash Adapter that you can easily pickup on Amazon, eBay, etc., which will then reduce the voltage to acceptable levels.
OR you can have the flash fire as a "slave flash" (as in the pic). The pic of the flash in action was taken with it as a slave and I used at least 1 dark blue colored filter to buffer the light. If you "diffuse" (tone down, buffer) your primary (shooting camera) flash, and use a slave flash, say pointing up, or bouncing off the wall, that should then give you some nice photos. Use this technique with your phone camera's flash to increase the ambient light. You'll need to have an "optical sync" to go along with it, though.
The shipping is low so we can share the cost.
Thank you.
Good luck, and God bless!
