Great flash for the cost
For the cost and size, I feel that this is an awesome little flash. It is important to realize that it does not have any TTL adjustment for the intensity. That is totally manual but it is very easy deal with this with how nice the power dial slides. So if you have too much or too little power for the shot, you can quickly adjust it. It also refreshes pretty quickly for such a small flash with only two batteries. What I really like about it is that it is so small it is easy to fit in your pocket and bring to many shooting situations. One downside is that you cannot adjust the angle but since it is so small and light, it is easy just to bring with a line to connect it to the camera with and then you can easily place it with the angle desired. I use this flash much more than I expected when I purchased it simply due to it's simplicity at such a small size.

A great little flash unit
First off, this thing is smaller than I thought it would be, it's actually cute. It's about the size of a box of Altoids with a hot shoe attached.I'm really enjoying it, it has a range out to 4m or a little over 12 feet. Plenty for personal photography and nearby shots. There are two modes, Manual and Auto.Auto is like the old flashes, pre-TTL. You set the shutter speed and aperture to match the ASA setting desired. (One thing I don't like about this flash, is there is a chart in the manual, but not ON the flash. So either remember one setting and stick with it or tote the manual around with you.) I have programmed my C1 setting to 400 ASA, F5.6, 1/125th of a second. So I set the camera to C1, pop on the flash and shoot.Manual is just that. There is a scale on the back to measure settings versus distance. There is also a power setting knob. You can keep halving the amount of flash to get the perfect amount of fill light. A nice creative touch.There is also a couple SLAVE settings, one to function as a slave unit, and the other to do the same but to ignore the pre flash on the master unit. It's also battery friendly. I accidentally left is on last night, it went into power saving mode and works perfectly this morning.It uses AA batteries, two of them and it comes in a nice little bag. And of course, the small manual.I'm really finding this little flash to be very likable. If you want a small flash that gives you a little more creativity than the pop up, or just doing things retro style (the settings remind me of my old Vivitar 285) this is for you. It doesn't have all the LCD screen menus etc. Truly old school with a modern retro touch.

It's ok
This is nice if you're traveling, it matches the style of ur Fuji but it's kinda big and not too useful at that size

Compact Flash but requires some user's calculations.
First is the advantage of this flash of being small and compact so you don't have to carry the bulk system if you use the regular flash gun. However, because it does NOT support TTL data, you have to know what you are doing. There are 2 types of shooting with this flash: 1. Manual 2. Auto. After some testing with Auto, it was not really reliable setting, and I would not be using it anymore. So, Manual position is the only setting should be used. However, if you want the relatively accurate exposure, you must know the distance from the camera to the object after focusing on it. Next, read the distance that is shown on your lens in meters and multiplied by the f (aperture) to get Guide Number (GN). Then using the table (I made it using the user manual info) find out the Flash Power value at the certain ISO you are using in your camera.Of course, don't expect the soft lightening you would get using the powerful Flash gun like I have Canon 580EXII with the diffuser or reflected umbrellas. Otherwise, it does the work if you go somewhere outside your city or even country by flying on commercial airline plane and don't want to carry heavy equipment with you.

Perfect mini flash
After doing tons of research & trying to find a good portable flash for everyday use, I settled on the Godoy Lux Junior. This flash is great with a couple tweaks. I ordered a cheap diffuser & some rechargeable AAA batteries for it & couldn’t be happier. I’ve also wrapped mine to match my camera.Very easy to use. Hooked it onto my Nikon Z7ii & it works with no problems, 10/10 flash.
