digitalparadise Awaiting the title ferry...  More info | May 15, 2011 22:45 | #1 is closest to the Canon 580. I have two. Actually I'm just looking a third flash for rim lighting. I purchased Cybersync triggers and receivers so I will just need something that will fire on manual only. Then again it won't hurt to have TTL for the future. Image Editing OK

Its basically a manual "580ex" dimension wise and for the price its a no-brainer. The 565 will of course be more expensive and probably be overkill for a 3rd flash. My junk

May 15, 2011 23:46 | #4 Thanks for he quick replies. I'll check it out. ETTL would be nice but I don't think I'll need it. It is a price issue mostly because of amount of usage. It won't me much at this stage of the game. Image Editing OK

May 16, 2011 14:06 | #8 Well I have been on Ebay and they are both inexpensive. I know the 560 has a PC port. What about the 465? Image Editing OK

May 16, 2011 15:56 | #10 For some reason I am leaning towards it. A gut feeling you might say. I can't see myself needing the TTL and the zoom and extra juice will help with rim lighting. Bigger is better used to me my motto. That is cottage country talk and I think I'll apply it this time around. Now I have a new one. "If you don't start anything, nothing will go wrong". Not sure why but my wife does not like my new motto as much Image Editing OK
