Sell your Canon 580EXII

This flash is so much easier to navigate than the canon. It also really works well in Auto for fill flash outdoors. All you do is hit two buttons for Auto, with the canon you have to go into custom functions and scroll thru menus. TTL just does not work with fill flash so Auto is the way to go...

Metz quality but poor product release planning......

I purchased this flash unit to replace a troublesome canon 580EX flash unit. Metz has been building flash units since at least the 50's and has generally always been considered a name that means quality photographic lighting. At some point in the past Bogen (known for their tripods) swallowed up...
