430EX II question

[strobemonkey]

Hi all, just had the chance to open and check my new 430EX II.
Two things I immediately noticed, there's no rubber seal on the foot of my 430EX II and there's missing numbers in the Custom Functions.

Is this normal or am I missing something?

My 580 and 430 feet look the same as yours.

I have a 1D III and there are less on camera functions on the 430 compared to the 580 if that's any help.

Both my flash units are Mk II's

I thought the 580EX2 got the rubber boot, the 430EX2 didn't - although if you order it from Canon as a 580ex2 spare part it will fit straight away.

thanks admirable and andrewc...

no rubber boot on my 430EXII and i also have the "missing numbers" as you see it. i believe this to be normal.
