Try and at least pick up a 430 or if you want, one of the Yunguno flashes from eBay. The 380 has no swivel so you wont be able to bounce in vertical camera position. Look at one of the ETTL capable YN flashes or a 430 EXII used. Thanks a lot Cosmo i appreciate that

mkville Goldmember  More info | Apr 01, 2011 12:43 | #6 The 380 was my first flash, it did me well for what it was, it did introduce me to lighting and help understand it, but it had it's limitations like mentioned earlier. I used it on my 40D at the time and it worked for me, please note it's a full manual flash and doesn't have ETTL. At the very least I would look at a 430 EXII instead.

Mods will go a bit easier on the new guys. You mind explaining how I broke the rules? # If you know an answer to a question either answer it or say nothing.
