I got my v4's yesterday, took a couple dozen shots to start getting a feel for using a flash manually. When I first setup everything, the flash wasn't firing even through the test lights were showing them working fine...

I released the hot shoe lock, and it started working... so I know to be careful with how the contacts line up. Once I fixed this, I had no misfires.

I actually wish they were heavier. My Canon 580EXII seems very top heavy, even when using the stand it came with. Gotta pick up a good tripod and umbrella for them soon.

For those on a budget, I was on the fence forever, and I'm happy with them so far.
