I am looking at a couple budget flashes for my camera, in particular I am looking at the YN-465/7 flashes. I would like e-ttl for the automated setup as opposed to full manual. I don't want to spend a fortune on a flash but would like to experiment with flash for "product" photography (beer!).
If I am using an e-ttl flash, all I need is the cable and/or wireless remotes...correct? I just want to know that I order what I need to begin. I plan on building a light-tent as shown on DIYPhoto as a beginning point.
Can anyone recommend anything else? I'm not real clear on the differences between the 5 and 7. It seems the 7 can be a slave, has a faster recycle, and allows for zoom. Do lenses typically come with a cable to connect to the camera or should I plan on buying one to accompany the flash?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
