I purchased this to use with the Vivitar 285HV. I already own a Nikon SB-600 and frequently use CLS to trigger it off the camera. My fear was that the optical slave would fire from the pre-flash off my D80. Turns out this slave will only fire from the pre-flash if it's within inches of my camera. Otherwise, my SB-600 fires it every time.
I decided to buy this optical slave over the peanut micro-slave for one reason: I could put Velcro on it, and attach it anywhere on the flash to make it visible for my SB-600. In most cases this isn't necessary, but if I can't get a good bounce from the other flash this helps. It's certainly within the same limits I have with Nikon CLS. If I wanted anything better, PC cords or true wireless triggers are the only way to go!

This thing is a piece of garbage. It fires maybe one time in ten IF another flash is directly pointed at it from close range. I knew it was a gamble and it was a cheap lesson but a lesson nonetheless. Don't bother.
