Vivitar 6000AF TTL Auto Focus Macro Ring Flash for Canon Cameras

Summary: PIECE OF JUNK
Review: This macro ring flash was a huge disappontment. I didn't even get to use it.

I just received this garbage from UPS about an hour ago... I was so happy and excited. I've been wanting a ring flash for awhile to go with my sigma 50mm macro lens. So I open up the box, grab my batteries, go to load them up, and to my surprise- I can't get the battery compartment door to shut. The metal piece on the bottom [connector?] was all broken and falling apart. I tried to fix it and attempted to move it into place... but no luck.

So here I am now... no ring flash. I guess that's what I get for trying to be cheap. I should have went for a more expensive flash... maybe a Canon.
