Hello all,
I am sorry Ive been asking so many questions lately and started so many threads but I am very pationate about this and I am trying to learn as much as I can, I have found out that photography is expensive and sometimes buying the most expensive is not the best for what you are going to use it for.
I am trying to get at least 2 off camera flashes, like everyone else I am on a budget since I have to get the radio triggers for them and the stands I am trying to get the best bang for my buck.
I got a suggestion for a vivitar 285Hv used, they run for about $55-65 on ebay, and new for $79(overstock.com with 10% off and shipping included) the vivitar sounds like a good deal used but for $20 more why dont get it new right? Ive heard this flash is a work horse too.
So far Ive been so hyperfocused on the 285Hv but my question is: is there a good, less expensive(less than $79 new 285Hv) off camera flash that might work as an off camera flash?
I have a Canon 40D and I just got a nissin Di622(I know is optical slave and doesnt work with radio triggers unless you mod it, right?). I can use the Nissin as an on camera flash but I am looking for off camera flashes(2 for now).
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks
