Flash advice needed
Mar 12, 2018 18:51:51 #
Have 2 Yongnuo 685's and a YN622C-TX flash controller. Use them with my Canon cameras, mostly off camera and have not had any issues with them. Don't use flash a lot but I bought this setup to replace a Canon Speedlite that no longer functioned. This setup cost less than one speedlite and I'm satisfied with it.

No way! I bought one because of low cost. When I got home and opened the package, I returned it without even trying it because of the crappy flimsy build quality.

I am looking for some suggestions about which Canon Speedlite I should consider purchasing. My camera bodies are Rebel T6 digital and an EOS 630 for film. Mostly hobby use but I did shoot a couple of weddings for friends. I’m considering either the 580EX or 580EX-II. I can’t justify the expense of the newer 600EX series units for my usage but have seen the flashes I am looking at for about $100.
Just a suggestion; Have you considered an Off-brand, Non-Canon Speedlight Flash? I personally bought the "Altura Speedlight Flash for Nikon # AP-N1001", which as of today I am quite satisfied with it's performance, although I have only used it 3-4 times thus far. I also purchased the accompanying "Trigger & Receiver" set for my "Off-Camera" shooting. Also, I have heard, but have No experience with the "Yongnuo" brand of Speedlight Flash & Off Camera Trigger & Receiver set. There are also other "Off-Brand" Speedlight Flashes to investigate too. Hope you find what you are looking for, and you will be satisfied with your purchase.
