hi peeps...anybody know where i can buy the Metz flash around KL or PJ maybe?
thanks

Want to ask a question about speedlight.

1. How much 430EX II cost now? (I found in mudah RM9++)
2. Does Nissin DI622 is a great value speedlight? and how does it compared
with 430EX II?

Di622 II is fine for most purpose. in comparison to 430EX II, the Di622 is loud and doesn't cycle as well as the 430EX II. it's also less accurate when comes to TTL.

430EX II can be controlled via camera body menu but not the Di622.

if you're not into rapid fire / burst, and not bothered about noise - Di622 it is. pay half the price of 430EX II and get about 70% - 80% performance and quality - anyone still want to complain need to knock their head already.

haha! thanks~! fast reply just me not noticed it....

i had a di622 mk2...didnt find it noisy...exposure seems ok.
only thing is the AF assist beam is weak, and doesnt even cover the center focus point...must as well not have it there in the first place...guess u get what u pay for

sorry - i used Mk 1. it was noisy when zooming in and out, and you can hear the flash charge whizzing.

yes, you get what you pay for.

yup, MkII doesnt have the buzzing charging sound.. well, not so obviously noisy that is..

but mkII is really worth the money if ur not up for the price of the 430EXII

pricing for Nissin is waaay cheaper for almost the same GN..
and now the Di622mkII support wireless triggers!

Hey dude,
any comment can share with me abt the yongnuo YN-560 flashgun?
Planning to have one of it, but not too sure abt its performance,
so mind to share some experience for me?
Thx in advance

My latest haul:




Lumiquest Ultra Strap & Honl Speed Snoot

where do you get it? is it from the same as link above?

LeFoose

after using the nissin di622 a few times, i found it very responsive. nothing much to comment on the flash.. most beginner like me will buy this to master the technique handling with flash.. overall it is value for money..

if I were to be using YN560 / other manual flash / optically triggered flash - i think either I'll quit halfway through or just having finger blister and take 50% more time. and yeah, more tiring also, leg cramped and all.

hi sifus, i was just asking, whats the main difference between the nissin di622 mk2 and di866? My friend said that the di622 cant be used as a master flash while the di866 can? can i pls have some feedback from you sifus out there? =) thx!

what your friend said is correct.

OH thanks, so how do you feel about the di866? isit good?

di866 supports high speed sync...useful to use sync speed above 1/250 to knock down background exposure...
