With a power output of 26w and a guide number of 16, the Kingbei flash boasts a retro design that's both stylish and compact. Its small size makes it ideal for street photography outings, as it doesn't feel intrusive at all. When using it for personal shots, you won't feel like you're on a professional shoot with bulky equipment. Additionally, it doesn't make the camera look oversized. The standard package includes a soft diffuser and a hard-shell cloth storage bag, adding a touch of elegance. I opted for the silver-gray color option.

Without the diffuser, the light may feel a bit harsh, but once it's attached, the difference is remarkable. It's like magic! The official package also includes a color filter box for adjusting the flash's color, although I didn't purchase it. I find that the natural light works best; flashy colors might make the scene look too artificial, almost like being in a nightclub.

What I love most about this flash is that it doesn't require battery changes. A single charge of its lithium battery, according to the official specs, can power up to five to six hundred shots at full capacity. Even with a discount, this efficiency is more than enough for my daily photography needs. In terms of functionality, it offers both manual and automatic modes, but I prefer manual mode for greater control over exposure settings for both background and subject. It allows me to capture images exactly how I envision them.
