CANON FLASH GEAR 1994 TO PRESENT |
|
Canon 580 EX II flash My current good flash. Has weather seal on hot shoe for
outdoor shooting, accepts external power packs. Level type lock for
attaching to hot shoe. Purchased in 2008 STATUS: Active |
|
Canon 550 EX flash I have two of these flashes. Not
quite as fancy as the 580, uses screw lock to hot shoe. No weather seal
skirt. These date back to my EOS-1v and EOS-3 bodies, but they were
advanced enough to feature pre-flash exposure control Does take external booster
batteries STATUS: Active |
|
Canon 420 EX flash This is the smallest flash I have
for Canon EOS system. Generally used as a travel flash Does not take booster packs STATUS: Active |
|
Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin light Having had ring lights before, I
decided this time to go with the twin light system. I can run either or
both lights, and move them around. They come with mounting ring that
directly attaches to the Canon 180mm macro, as well as the 50mm macro.
However I have some other bracket systems that will put the lights out much
further for more modeling effect STATUS: Active |
|
Canon 430 EZ flash This was a flash from the film era.
It used E-TTL (Evaluative-Through-The-Lens) that means no
pre-flash. It required the meter to read the flash source light being
reflected off the film surface. The concept did work too well for
digital sensors. I purchased this flash to work with the A2E STATUS: Sold |
|
Canon 200 E flash This was a flash from the film era.
It was purchased for use with the film based Rebel X and with the A2E
when traveling. STATUS: Sold |
|
Canon ML-3 Macro light flash This was a flash from the film era.
It worked just great with the various film cameras, however, like other
EZ series flashes, it did not work when I got the 1Ds body. It just
fired full power. A nice feature of this flash was the small light
bulbs in it which gave you some light to see and focus on your subject, as
well as what the lighting effect might look like. STATUS: Sold |
|
Canon Compact Battery Pack E I have two of these packs.
Each takes 6 size AA batteries. The end plugs into a port on most of
the advanced Canon flash guns. So instead of the flash using on 4
batteries to recycle by, it now has 10 batteries power the flash. Way
faster recycling time, and 250% the number of flashes. Obtained back in
the film era, for use with the older style flashes, they still work fine with
the likes of the 580EXII STATUS: Active |
|
Canon STE2 Speed Light transmitter Instead of mounting a flash on the
camera body, this device using IR control, and having a few flashguns set to
slave mode, allows you to create a portable studio like lighting system. STATUS: Active |
|
Canon Off Shoe flash extension
cable I have two Canon brand versions of
this cable, the new one has faster lock and weather seal skirt, and a brand X
version. Simple device that allows you to get the flash off the camera, and
move it where you need it. If you don’t have a ring light flash, you
can remote you normal accessory flash and put it closer to the say the
flower, or off to the side for better modeling. There are brackets that
hold your flash higher above the lens, and rotate when camera is in vertical
shot mode to get you flash back above the lens for natural shadows.
(take a look at most wedding photographers shooting) STATUS: Active |
