Just Ordered the 430ex, next on the want list is the Canon 10-22mm

tzphotos.com · 24th of May 2006 (Wed)

I just ordered a Canon 430ex today. I can't wait to start shoot and learning. I miss the larger flash. I had a basic thyristor flash for my old Point & Shoot and miss the power.

It will be nice to have a fairly powerful flash that can comunicate with the camera.

The next item on my want list is the Canon 10-22mm Lens. I do a lot of landscape pictures and this lens would be a dream to me.

Be careful using them together, the Canon units only cover to 17mm and that's with the diffuser panel down! Otherwise you need a different diffuser or bounce flash.

I wondered about that.

So, when I order the Tokina 12-24, if I use it with the 430EX I just need to stay away from anything closer than 17mm. Right?

Thank you for the heads-up. I probably wouldn't use the two together, but as we all know you start playing with the toys/tools and suddenly you find something that works for you.

Thanks again for you help,
Tom

Not to contradict you Tim, but as I just got a 430ex and have ploughed through the manual, it does claim to be able to be used with 14mm lenses with the diffuser flap down. It does discount the fisheye though.

I have a 580ex and I can't see why the 430ex would be a wider angle myself though.

And take into account the 1.6x factor.

So, at 10mm, it's really a 16mm lens for the flash. Should work.
But better use bounced flash when using wide lenses.

No issues using this combination - 350D, 430EX with wide panel down, and 10-22. I believe the numbers refer to 35mm equivalent, that would make the most sense.

I spent the extra money for a 580ex just because of my 10-22. I bought the 10-22 first and found that my 420ex just didnt have enought wide angle coverage and went out and bought a 580ex. Inside the results are amazing with a 580ex at 10mm.

I just received my 430EX. Now it's time to learn how to use it. Now I'm saving my money for the 10-22 Lens.

Blue max is right, it's 14mm for both the 430 and 580.
