I'm also throwing in the PC adapter that fits on the hot shoe if your camera is like a rebel or an xti and doesn't have one built in. This was purchased separately for around $35 and was not included with the light kit. The kit works well for portraiture. It's only been used occasionally for a year or so. No damage that I am aware of. It works perfectly and provides excellent lighting.

I'm asking $150 (firm) plus $15 for shipping. Or.....trade straight across for a Canon 430EX flash in GOOD shape. If you live in the PA/NJ area we might be able to do the deal in person.

Sounds interesting to me. However, the link doesn't work - looks like it got reformatted on your copy paste.

Also, what are those extra buttons?


You wan to trade for a 430, I already have a 580ex2 - would this setup do me any good? Why do you want to trade for the 430?

I ask because I'm very very very new to lighting.

Hiya darkdragon.....it all depends upon what type of photography you want to do. While your 580ex would be a great all around flash for outside a studio environment, the kit I am selling works great if you wanted to do some indoors shots/portraits with backdrops etc. It gives you a way to sculpt the light around the subject, rather than simply have one source such as your 580. The umbrellas soften or diffuse the flash, and allow you to do all sorts of cool shadow and lighting effects.

Whats the power source on these? Do they use AA Batteries like a 430 or do you have to plug them into a wall, or do they need power packs?
