Comments about Canon Canon Speedlite 580EX II, Shoe Mount Flash -Guide Number of 190 Feet - Refurbished by Canon U.S.A.:

Bought a second one to use the slave/master function. Going through the menus to set slave/master is a pain. What happened to the switch? I don't use it often enough for me to remember how to do it so I have to look it up each time.

Comments about Canon Canon Speedlite 580EX II, Shoe Mount Flash -Guide Number of 190 Feet - Refurbished by Canon U.S.A.:

This is must with any DSLR. Initially I purchased 430 EX but as soon as I upgraded to 5D Mark II, I upgraded my flash to 580 EX II and what an upgrade. Much better, consistent output and faster recycle time. This is definitely worth price and every extra cents well spent. The product even though "Refurbished" is almost brand new. There is absolutely NO Problem and I highly recommend it. I waited for 14 months before posting this review. I have taken couple of thousands pictures using 580 EX II and I'm thrilled proud owner of this wonderful piece of engineering.

Comments about Canon Canon Speedlite 580EX II, Shoe Mount Flash -Guide Number of 190 Feet - Refurbished by Canon U.S.A.:

The 580EX II is a great flash to have around. I use this for everything from fill to a main light depending on the situation.

The one main drawback I find with this flash is that Canon didn't see fit to include radio wireless sync in newer camera bodies and newer flash units.
