Miamitreo Member 41 posts Joined Dec 2010 Location: S. FLA More info | Mar 04, 2012 03:46 | #1 I'm looking to buy another flash. I currently have 1 580 ex2 and 1 430ex2. Should I buy another 580 or 430 ex2? What would one offer over the other to justify the added expense? Initially the 430ex2 was a cheaper smaller "travel" flash and secondary flash and the 580 ex2 was to be the "workhorse" commander flash. Your opinions please.

Mar 04, 2012 17:54 | #7 Thanks for the replies. I was leaning toward getting another 430 ex2 since its the least expensive & serves the intended purpose (at least for now), however I'll wait till the 600 ex drops to see if the 580 ex2 price is lowered. Canon 60D 18-135 3.5-5.6 50 1.8 70-200 2.8 Mk2
