- Canon 430EX (the original one, that actually works)

Is there some kind of problem with the 430ex II? I just got one and although I haven't gone nuts with it yet, it seems to work ok knock on wood.

Do you really care what kind of gear I use? If so, why? My gear is merely a tool...a means to an end. We seldom look upon a painting and wonder what brand of paint was used or what the brush bristles were made of; we merely appreciate the painting and the work put in by the painter.

There is no magic gear/bullet, just lots of trial & error, hard work, passion, & experience. These will out perform the shiniest bit of kit any day of the week.
