I use the 580 EX and it's fabulous.
You MUST learn to use it on manual. It is not difficult and will give
you a thousand times better exposure and power than using it on auto.
I regularly light using my 580EX on manual in a 60" umbrella and even
on 1/4 and 1/8 power I get amazing light.
If you need help with how to do it, let me know and I'll be happy to
get you going.

Hi Gang................
For quite a while I have been using a Canon 420 EX Flash.
It works ok but it is a bit underpowered.
Also when I was using it with my 10d
I seemed to very often not get a correct exposure.
I lived with it.
Now using my 30d I seem to be having the same problem.
Sure using the camera on Auto is not quite the
professional way to do things but I should have
more even exposures in the photos.
I have heard that the 580EXII is quite the flash unit and is more
consistent in it exposures.
Anyone ever use the 580 EXII?
Thanks
