Tempted to indulge into the realms of the Ebay Flashes!

The under £40 price tag is VERY tempting yet I'm not convinced on what the actual product is (ie the box says 'Thinklite' yet the actual flash says 'Godox')

HMMMMMMM

i would suggest getting a yongnuo yn-460ii, it is slightly less expensive, but many people including myself have had good experiences with them. i have never even heard of thinklite or godox.

I checked the Godox website and they seem legit but that yn-460 ii does look like its easier to purchase/obtain aswell as your good reviews! Do you have any pictures you've used it in?

Don't forget the YN-560 either.. Many of us use that as well.

I have had a YN-468 for over a year now, and just purchased two YN-460 II's for my portable kit, and have not had a bit of trouble out of any of them (granted, I have only used the 460 II's a few times, but the 468 is a workhorse). If you are going to go non-Canon go with the Yongnuo products.

i just bought the yn-465 and am anxiously awaiting it ( probably 2-3 weeks off)...i got this one because of the ttl function..not sure if the 460 has it...

it doesn't, for ETTL and manual controls look at the YN465, YN467, YN468
