dave_wilson4 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Hi - I'm looking for a decent flash for my D60. Some people have said that the 540EZ (for example) won't work with the D60. Is there an EZ and EX version? And if so will only one of them be compatible? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former P.N Member Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Only EX versions work with Canon DSLRs. There is no 540EX, just 220EX, 420EX and 550EX. You might find a 380EX used somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_katz1 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 The 540EZ (and prior models) will fire at full manual output only - no ATTL/TTL/ETTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witolda_maruszewska Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 You will need an EX-series flash for a D60, I'm afraid... EZ-type flashes won't work in any of the auto modes on any E-TTL camera, D60 notwithstanding - you will have to fire the flash manually and as a result there may be a risk of frying the electronics in the D60. When I moved up from an EOS 5 (A-TTL) to a D60 I was left with the compatibility issue over my 430EZ flash and traded it in for a 550EX. Your best bet (depending on your needs and budget) will be either a 420EX or a 550EX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_wilson4 Posted November 6, 2003 Author Share Posted November 6, 2003 Thanks for the answers, I'll set about looking for the EX versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
