Anyone tried those Yongnuo $65 flashes on Amazon? I'm thinking about ordering one and wanted to see if it was worth it. The reviews seem ok. I;m not worried about TTL or anything just want a 3rd controllable flash unit to go with my 430 & 420.

With good batteries the recycle time is fast. They are simple manual flashes but if that's what you're after I think these are good value for the money. Brian

Oct 27, 2011 16:48 | #6 Cool, that was another question I had... how long do they last.
