Canon Speedlite Flashgun
430EX Mark II:
Canon Speedlite Flashgun 430EX Mark II offers a very useful guide number of 141'
at ISO 100 and 105mm as well as complete compatibility with Canon's E-TTL /
E-TTL II flash metering system. The flash head also offers an excellent zoom
range of 24-105mm, which is expanded to 14mm with the use of the wide-angle
diffusion panel. There is even the option to tilt the flash upwards 90° as well
as rotate it right 90° or left 180° for bounce capabilities.
Wireless slave TTL functionality is possible with Canon's optical pulse
transmission system. This is possible with one of 4 channels and 3 groups at up
to 39.4'. This enables photographers to setup off-camera lighting without
running cables. Other features include an AF assist beam, modeling flash, and
high-speed, first and second curtain sync modes. It also recycles in 0.1-3.7
seconds and runs on 4 AA batteries. Additionally, it comes with a mini stand and
