Default Re: Canon 580ex Mark II

Mark,
Thanks, but I knew that already. I was just a little too slow to realize what was happening.

I have also downloaded and printed the Metz 58 AF-1 C manual. It has each language in a different part of the document, so you can just print that range. I print front and back to keep the physical pages down.

About the 58 AF-1 C:
The specs and features look great. Do you know anything about it, and have you used it? The built in bounce card along with the Wink Light (Metz calls it a "Secondary Reflector), and the ability to control the strength of the Wink light seem to give it even more convenience than the 54 series.

As I complete my tests with the Canon 580 II, I am giving this flash some special consideration because it seems that the 580 II and Metz 58 can be used together in a two flash situation.

I'll try to make a complete report on my 580 II tests, but initially, it seems that Canon has gotten the ETTL consistency much better on this unit as I compare it on my 1DII.
