Ok I am looking to buy a new flash. I currently have a 40D with 2 Vivitar 285 HVs. and I Use the Yongnuo CTR- 301P triggers for them.

Now since both of my current flashes are manual I prefer me new flash to have E-TTL functions. I do a lot of off camera flash shooting which i Will use the new flash for as well. The reason I want E-TTL is for situations at events and parties and such it is much easier to shoot with Ettl instead of fooling with manual flash settings.

Now my choices so far are the Yongnua Yn-468 and the Nissin Di622. I know they just came out with the YN 560 wich is awesome becuase of the power, but it doesnt have ETTL. Canon flashes are out i dont have the money to drop on one of those.

So with that info, what would you guys recommend.

Thank you


40D, 70D

the YN468 is good as well as the cheaper YN465, both have ETTL and manual controls
