the best use for on board flash- is to trigger the external flashes wirelessly.

So my follow up question is whether in low light a 430ex flash with my 15-85 will give me as nice pics and flexibility as a 430ex flash with the Tamron 17-50 f2.8? Should I try and get both eventually or it will not make much of a difference. Outdoors I love the 15-85 and find it a great range so I would not need the 17-50 except for indoors and low light. With flash, the slight aperture advantage with the f/2.8 17-50 won't really mean anything (unless you also want very shallow depth of field; at the wider end there's not much difference between the 15-85's f/3.5 and the 17-50's f/2.8 (2/3 stop, if I'm reading the Wikipedia chart right), so you're only talking a real difference in max. aperture at longer focal lengths (2 stops at f/5.6 versus f/2.8). See here http://neilvn.com …h-photography-techniques/ Some Canon stuff and a little bit of Yongnuo.

I used this combo for about a year with very good results. In the end I moved to a f/2.8 zoom because I preferred the shallower depth of field. In dim light you still need the flash.
