I need your help on this one. I am not working now and cash is a concern. What is better for me ? A lightly used Metz 44 AF 4c for $90.00 or should I just bite the bullet and get a new Canon 430ex for $204.00 ?
I have been into photography for 3 months now. I have a Xti with kit lens, 50mm 1.8 and 55-250mm and a good tripod. I am very happy with my equipment and have no plans on upgrading or expanding in the near future.
I shoot mostly outdoors (buildings, people, landscapes, ect.). I am wanting to add a flash for some more flexibility. Which flash should I get?
Metz 44 af 4c =$90.00/local Canon 430ex = $204 = $204.00/Shipped
Metz Guide= 164 Canon Guide= 141
Metz Zoom Range= 24-105mm Canon Zoom Range= 24-105mm
Metz Angle Coverage=84-23 deg. Canon Angle Coverage= 114-23 deg.
Metz Recycle Time= 5 sec. Canon Recycle Time 3.7 sec.
Metz Not Slave capable Canon Slave Capable
Metz Two buttons and easy to use. Canon More buttons and flexibility
I am not sure on any other features or differences.
