  1. <p>Upon further research, this is apparently a very common failure for YongNuo flashes.</p>
  2. <p>I have had a YongNuo YN468-II Flash for about three years, and it has received pretty light use. I last used it a couple months ago. When I got it out last week, I discovered that the flash will not fire. I installed fresh AA alkaline batteries. The flash powers up; I can cycle through all the menus; the red indicator light comes on, identifying that flash is ready for use. Yet it will not fire. Neither the Pilot (test) button nor either of my cameras (70D and T2i) will cause it to fire. The flash is communicating with the 70D when mounted, as it recognizes my changing ETTL settings or aperture. To my knowledge, the flash has not undergone any physical trauma since I last used it.</p> <p>I have also attempted to fire remotely it via transmitters.</p> <p>Is it just dead? Are there any troubleshooting options I can try? Is it possible to replace a bulb in these things? Thanks for any help. Let me know if there's any additional information I can provide that would be helpful in reaching a diagnosis.</p>
  3. <p>I would buy a pack mule to help lug around the 4x5 equipment that I'd be taking on long multi-day hikes.</p>
  4. <p>JDM, when I went to the T2i from my EOS 3, it was definitely a step back in the handling/ergonomics department. I am looking forward to those improved control options.</p> <p>I do hope others will offer hints/suggestions to make the transition fluid.</p>
  5. <p>I know the 70D has a great many features that will an upgrade over my Rebel T2i, but I think the thing I might me most excited about, from a practical standpoint, is the articulated display. I don't have anything insightful to add to the forum; I've just been waiting a while to upgrade and am pretty excited (and impatient) about the new gear.</p>
