ben_squire Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Hi all (It's been a while)<br /> I've been lucky enough to get a 550EX at a bargain price (100 GBP, I couldn't resist). Now I have that and a 420EX with diffuser. Considering I might have a wedding this June, but that could be all I do. Is it worth selling the 420EX for a small profit on ebay, or keeping it for the wedding? I tend to bounce the flash off the ceiling, in Manual Exposre mode. <p> Thanks in advance,<br /> Ben</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennyahn Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 If you'll be shooting a wedding, you may want to keep one flash as a backup. It may come in handy at events like weddings. If you have a second body, of course it would be appropriate for that as well. After the wedding, you may find that you don't need it depending on what you normally shoot. I guess there's yet another option. You could sell the 420EX for a small profit and then just rent a flash for the wedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil vaughan - yorkshire u Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 You could have a play with the Canon wireless flash mode, and see if you like it. Personally I'm looking forward to when I can have some more Canon flashguns so that I can get even more adventurous with my lighting set-ups.

ben_rubinstein___mancheste Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Backup and using 2 flashes, one as sidelighting with the canon wireless flash system can give a great 3D effect to pictures, I love it though I haven't been using it for a while but intend to start again next wedding.

ben_squire Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 Cheers Guys, your right I think I'll hold onto it for the time being. If I don't use it after the wedding I will sell it then. <BR /><BR /> I've been playing with the slave modes today, and just found the manual online, looks like I have a lot of learning :) <P>Thanks again all!</P> Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
