Re: what flash
No probs on the Paypal front Fi, I can sort that out for you.
I would recommend you get a Canon original though there is a good Sigma that is dedicated to E-TTL II so you could go that route. The Canon 420/30EX (depending on what you get best price for) would suit you down to the ground. It has good power, it has a swivel and bounce head and couples perfectly with your camera meaning you will get much more reliable exposures. I'll check out a couple of the obvious places and let you know what I can find. Either way I am sure your 9500 should cover it  Cheers, Rob

Re: what flash
Bit surprised you after a flash Fi, as jusging your shots to date there seems to be very little use of flash
 I would have thought some monet towards a nice Sigma 10-20mm lens might be more up your street  Saying all this , you may be like myslef who just recently bought a flash to try it out .....must admit I would not put it ahead of lenses I wanted & am currently struggling to find the kind of results I want from flash . I've been so used to to natural light, with shadows etc, it takes a bit fo getting used to

dave yep u are right, i dont use flash that much. but i have a few things coming up this year that sure as damnit i will need a flash for so i reckon it would be a good chance to get it without having to pay out of my own pocket........ can get the 430 and a nifty and one or two other things for the money i am getting for the 9500. so all in all it will be a good sale! fi |

Hahaha...you're signature is a bit of a juxtaposition - love it!  I've been looking at flashguns as well but just can't decide if I reaaaaaaaaally need one, probably not. |
