Ah ok thanks. I was wondering why I wasnt seeing the shutter banding!

Hi there, I was using a Canon 430 ex II with a pair of Calumet radio triggers which have a sync speed of 1/250. When I went above the max sync speed, I was confused as to why there was banding, but not a complete black off. Here is a picture as an example at 1/750 sec...

Thanks for the replies. If I went with the 430 EX II and wanted to use it off camera - on a stand with softbox for example - would that be possible if I used a wireless transmitter like a pocket wizard?

Hello, I'm wanting to buy my first flash. Is it worth spending the extra for the 580 or will the 430 be sufficient? I don't have any other flash guns (at the moment) so the master slave, shouldn't be a problem. I would mostly be using it for portraits and experimenting with other...
