What's the guide number on it? It's likely not very strong.

Os, According to B&H, the guide# is 98.5

This one may be a better deal. It's only $20.00 more Guide # 131' and it has a bounce/swivel head.

That looks good. So does this mean it will work with Nikons i-TTL system? or just that it will work with a camera that has i-TTL
