Re: Flash for Canon 5D

Marilyn,

You might consider moving up to the Canon wireless flash system which allows you to set multiple flashes which are then triggered by the remote unit which sits atop your camera's hot shoe. ETTL, TTL all still work even when using this system with multiple flashes. It's great.

I have one and use it with my 580, 550 and 420 flashes...sometimes using just one or two flashes and sometimes using all three. It's an amazing system and one I wish I had bought a loooooong time ago. I love it for location work.

Hi PF members,

 

I am looking for a new on camera flash unit - one that has quite a bit of power.

 

I've been using the Canon 550 OEX.  Much of the use will be photographing functions in a gallery/museum, which is rather dark inside.  The EOX just doesn't through light far enough.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thank you.

 

Marilyn
