Advice needed for flash for EOS50E

[Klause]

Hi guys!

I am interested in buying a flash for my EOS50E. Budget is less than 150 if possible but can go to max. of 200 dollars.

Please advice me on which flash to purchase.

Thanks in advance.

And my advise is that you save somemore and get a 420EX or EF500 SUPER.

For 3rd party flashes, you can look at the Metz or Sunpaks (if you can find one).

Personally I'd suggest that you hold the purchase for now, save up and acquire a 420EX...it's worth it!

EOS 30 cannot do E-TTL? Are you sure? EOS 30 and 50 are Type A camera bodies and they do support E-TTL!

sorry

30 and 50 do ettl

but 50 cannot do ratio flash

would rather get the sigma super st!

Playing ard with flash ratio is an expensive option if you're really into it. Even the 420EX doesn't allow manual control of flash output.

If you're serious about doing some flash raio techniques, you need several 550EX. Very ex!! If you're not into all this sophistication (don't be misled by what some people tell you, if you don't need it, don't buy it!), then a 420EX is a good option, though I think the out-of-production 380EX is excellent too.
