camera flash with manual power controls-spun3

camera flash with manual power controls
I know I can't expect much for the cheap price, but I do not require any fancy settings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], only the manual options. Whenever I have searched forums and websites online for cheap flashes with manual controls etc I find lots of good priced flashes which are equal to the speedlites for cheaper, however these are for use on camera with metering etc and therefore are therefore still much more expensive than I am looking for. What I want is a cheap flash with manual controls,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that could be decades old so long as still it works,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with no need for fancy metering because it is just going to be used as a portable source of light as opposed to a 'speedlite' equivalent.
Any help could be appreciated finding good brands as well as their models to maintain an eye out for on ebay etc,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
You mention used,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and that i commend that choice, however I think it's worth noting that there are some at-least-relatively quite inexpensive (though perhaps over £30-40; I don't know the forex rates off hand).
The first is the Vivitar 285HV (or I guess now these are the Cactus KF36) (or an old higher-voltage 285 or 283, and perhaps other models, second hand - though I'm not certain which ones have adjustable manual modes),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], though be aware that for some reason this flash skips 1/8 power - it simply has 1/16, 1/4,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 1/2,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and full ("M") power.
Additionally, there are the Yong Nuo YN460,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which is the cheapest full manual flash I understand of that you can purchase new - for as little as US$50 approximately, supposedly. I do not have one of these simple,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and haven't shot with one, but I've had one in my hands and played with the interface - it took me a minute to determine, but seemed pretty straightforward after that.
Much more info (and links to flickr discussion threads) on of these (along with a third, sounds-a-lot-better-but-a-bit-more-expensive option -- the LumoPro LP120 -- which i've yet to really have my hands on personally, so I won't say any more about) are on a strobist post about cheap flashes.
When it comes to used market, I've used a classic SunPak flash that worked decently (they also have the PZ42X, which you could search for used,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if its cost is simply too top note that I haven't used that one either). Or any of numerous options from numerous brands,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I'm certain. (The Nikon SB-24 and 26 were made quite popular by the Strobist blogs about them, which had the down-side (from the buyer's perspective) of raising what they tended to sell for).
I've also picked several old flashes up from thrift stores and yard sales and such,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], most of which were as low as $1 (as well as given to me),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], were built with a fixed output mode (which sort of counts as manual, right?),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and serve some purposes nicely (I've got built to be tiny (it requires 2 AAA batteries) and has an optical slave which I sometimes prefer to tuck right into a corner somewhere, for instance).
