Title: Great flash
Review: There are plenty of reviews that go into detail about the flash itself so I though I'd simply describe my experience with this flash compared to the 430EX since I own both.If you are thinking about buying a 430EX instead, consider this: The 580EX II power on and cycling times are significantly shorter. The difference is night and day and I think worth the cost difference for this reason alone. It's also quite nice to not have 90 degree counterclockwise head rotation limit of the 430, something I always found quite annoying. Practically everything about it is better and immediately noticeable - the build quality, weather sealing, lock mechanism, flash power and even the metering seems better. The only real down side is the extra size and weight, which is also immediately noticeable. Personally, I think the $100 price difference is meaningless considering the benefits but I do use my flashes a lot.
Is the review positive or negative?
