tonylong ...winded More info | Aug 17, 2013 17:40 | #8 The 580xx flashes do have some advantages over the 430EX flashes, not just more power, but more shooting options, for example, the ability to be a "master" flash and also I believe High Speed Synch, so to me it's good to have at least one in my kit!

The 430II does do high speed sync but can only be a slave and not a master. Gear List
