got 530ex ha?.. didnt know about it
better go for 430ex or nissin if ur budget is tight...

how to tell its good or not?..hmm.. i think the E-TTL mode, cycle time, and the power of the flash....

580ex II have a fast cycle time compare to 430ex..
if not mistaken all the 5XXex series hv a commander mode which it can control other flash such as 480ex... in other word.. wireless control... so that u can play with CLS

sorry...typo..430ex

sorry, i typo too! its 580EX and 430 EX! MY BAD!

nice review on canon 430ex

theres a manual mode for flashes?!?! how do you use it?

me still doesnt have flash yet, las two weeks suppose to get 580ex II, but the shopkeeper poison me with tamron 90mm macro, so bought the tamron at that time..

hehe. its ok..till have time to grab 580ex II later on. i'm maybe not go for 580ex II. looking for the cheap cheap flashgun

i thought the 580 EX II is not compatible with the 350D?

Added EF-50mm f1.8II today. Poisoned by Vincent_audio during bird park outing. Going to Cameron tomorrow.

should be compatible

want to know more about flash, read this, it's a whole new ballgame haha.

wahh, so many people getting flash now.

yup... i think u can set the aperture of the flash... i oso not sure...just use the ETTL mode only

why not?

2 weeks back it was 50mm f1.8 II

now it's 580EX II

so next would be something II as well? what's with the sequels.

anyway i'm definitely not getting 580EX II cos it doesn't suit my style at the moment.

kena poison dgn viking during 1st outing...and kord during 2nd outing..

ouch well congratulation, that is a great lens for the price paid. Enjoy.

btw, is ur 50mm lens series number starting with 3xxxxx ?

i cant remember why not though, but i do for one thing that it requires the something for the hotshoe? though i may be mistaken. SORRY IF I DID MISTAKE IT!
