Hi All,
Those of you who know me will know that I have been lucky enough to get on the books of a few local papers and I've been doing quite a bit of work for them over the last few weeks! (Thanks in no small part to advice I got on this forum)
I find myself in a situation where a) I have very little money and b) I very much need a flash.
All I really need is something that can throw a decent distance, can hook up to an external booster battery and will allow me to tilt and pan for bouncing. This is because I'm increasingly finding myself in pain-in-the-arse situations where the lighting is terrible and I could really do with some control!
I've seen a few flashes from no-name companies on ebay etc and LCE seem to have quite a few older flashes at the moment, I'm talking about the 540ez and similar...
So, do I go for an older "Genuine" flash or a newer no name one? my budget is all of about £50 ($100). - All to fit a 300D (With a view to upgrading to a 20D/30D in the next 3 months)
Cheers
