Flashes...

[Haroldo]

For those that use external flashes with their P&S, Prosumers, and SLR's, what lighting do you use?

I personally just bought a Vivitar 285HV and a Vivitar 5000 MacroFlash ring.

I've got a canon speedlite 430EX. I've had it for just under a year and really like it. The off shoe is a good addition for these flashes so that you can use it off the camera. How do you like the ring?

Just bought the flash ring today, so it won't be here until next week. And I bought the 285HV like 2 weeks ago, but had to wait for Olympus to get me a TTL-PC cord. So as of friday, I'll be able to use any PC flash.

I have a Sigma EM-140 DG ring flash, and I really like it. As for a regular flash, I use the Nikon SB800, mostly on the camera by itself but it also works as both a master on camera and a slave off.

Both are for my Nikon D70 dSLR.

Nice gear everyone. Got my TTL-PC cord today...having a bit of fun with my 285HV. And my 5000 should be arriving next week sometime--can't wait.

I use White Lightning UltraZap UZ1600s in studio and in some controlled conditions outdoors. For most of the outdoors though it is a pair of Canon 550EX or a Canon MT-24EX.

It is hard to use the hot shoe mount flashes once you have used studio lights with nice big soft boxes though. Hard to compare the quality of light you get from studio strobes/soft box combos.
