canon 580 EX II user here

580exII use as well

Nissin Speedlite Di622 User here

I'm using the 580EX II, great weather sealing, and it recharges fast with it the Lithiums i feed it although Lithium seems to have really crappy performance in the cold. So far i'm pretty happy with it.

But i really hate the click wheel, feels like crap to be honest with anyone. Maybe i should have asked for a Metz

I am using 580EX II as well.

Not much complait except the weight, which make me avoiding to flash gun whenever is possible.

Really heavy yeah after reload with the batteries.

Lucky u never put on the Mark III. Than u know what is heavy......

I try before feel 1 time. Is really heavy.

Anyway, pls share some of knowledge on the lighting if u have.

Speedlite 580EXII Owners

Canon Speedlite 430EX user reporting in.

580ex2 user reporting in. very resource hungry.. now only i know..

only for canon user ek... nikon cannot join aahh

580EXII reporting! Just got it today from J one. RM1690!!

Actually, it depends on the combination of lens+body+flash you choose to use. Some of the lenses can be from 1kg (24-70) to 1.6kg(70-200 2.8 IS) and putting the flash there just makes it really like carry a bazooka around. (and these are just the usual/normal lenses one carries around. Ever see pictures of sports photographers who takes a 400mm on a monopod and then has another 400? 600? on their neck? Crazy!

Me 580EX II user too.

Sorry lah brother.

Later too big already hard to control.

But u can share with us on the learning section

I now having shoulder pain from carrying around a 400D+BG-E3+24-70L+580 EX II+GF Tupperware
I think total ~2KG lah.

slighty less weight compared to my laptop.

My fren who is there using a pentax with a kecik mayung lens (40mm pancake) told me, there's a trend, once you whip out the Bazookas, then the others with the kitlens will all stay back a few step already. keke.. But I still Noob lah!!
