Meike MK-420N flash for Nikon cameras review by Bill Hall (see previous guest posts): An external flash is a necessary tool for photographers when the light is low, even for cameras with a built-in flash. The built-in flashes are okay for emergency use, but the features of most external flashes far exceed the power and features of any built-in flash. And high-end cameras don’t usually come with a built-in flash. Meike’s MK-420 flash has been available for Sony and Fuji, and is now available for Nikon cameras. Its price makes it quite attractive, especially considering the range of its included features. If you have used a Nikon branded flash before, the features of the Meike flash will be familiar. What’s in the box? The flash, of course, a pouch, a stand, a rechargeable lithium battery, battery charger, a stand, and a diffuser. The flash has clean lines, and is not excessively heavy, though it does feel sturdy. It has an LCD screen for settings, four lit buttons for choosing options from onscreen menus, and a directional spinner that also clicks in four directions, and has a central button. Plenty of options for making settings. The power switch has off, lock, and on positions. The lock position disables the buttons on the back of the flash so that you don’t accidentally change the settings. The flash mounts by sliding it into the hot shoe and moving a lever to the right. It’s very secure, and works much better than many mounts...
