I have this flash and you get what you pay for i suppose as it is cheap. I would say its good for certain types of shots and for bouncing the light. I do more portrait work and having spent a few years using natural light and studio flash im now looking at the hvl f43AM. The only problem i...

I have the EX300 interfit kit bought from Jessops. I only have the two light kit so there is a little more editing involved to get all the background completely white but in my opinion for the price, its a great kit. The EX150 would probably do just fine also and there even cheaper

i cant seem to get it to load up

Yeah ive got lighting. I tried it with them yesterday. Thanks for the reply

ill have a look thanks

Im gonna get some as there only £9 so its worth a try for now as I cant afford another lens just at the minute. The wife would kill me :) Dont think ill end up using the fifty though, not at 1.8. As much as I dont like to use my cheap Tamron i suppose ill have to have a go with that one...

Thanks for the quick reply. That is what i thought but after watching a video on youtube, which is clearly missleading I was getting confused. Thanks for that :)

Hey people just wondered if anyone could answer this for me. Im thinking of buying some Macro extension tubes, the very very cheap ones. Im aware that its manual and has no electrical contact which is fine for what I want. What I was wondering it what will the apeture be? If i was to use my...
