Alright /p/, educate me on flashes for CanonShould I buy a 430EX noworBuy a cheaper third party flash, save up for a 580EX II, and use the third party flash as a slave later on.Or I could buy a 580EX II after buying the 430EX anyway...I don't have any ring USM Canon lenses, for what it's worth.
There's a 430EX2 coming out pretty soon, but I have a 580EX2 and it's great flash, I would say just buy it. The price difference is like what, 30%?
What do you want to use the flash for? Automatic flashes like the Canon ones are totally unnecessary if you just want to play with off-camera lighting.
Canon has the worst flash ever
