I was impressed by the shots done using flash delay and long exposure... I want to plunge into that :D so what would you recommend for my 30D? I need something that I can use for indoor shots too, I'm not too happy with my camera indoors :)

I'm planning to buy it used on ebay... any suggestions?

thx

How much you got to spend?

580EX or if you want to save a few bucks, I strongly recommend the Sigma 500DG super! Almost the same, and half price.

430EX is a great flash if you don't need the wireless master capabilities.


Too much gear...

With just one gun , that's no drawback at all.
If you get the urge (or budget) to go wireless later, then your second gun will be the 580 (or s/h 550).

I'm guessing you want to do some creative stuff with it eventually, like maybe using it off-camera. If so, stay away from the 420EX as it has no manual power adjustment capability.

Maybe look for a used 430EX or used Sigma EF-500 DG Super.

You can buy the Sigma DG ST for $150. I have it and like it.
