£26 Speedlight
 

I've been spending money like its gone out of fashion this month. So much so that the bank phoned me yesterday thinking that someone had stolen my card!:) I've been buying a strobist setup around yongnuo speedlights. Thanks to Chris Jet Kit who mentioned how great he thought his one was. I bought the yn465 ttl model a few months back and loved it, it works perfectly with my 2 nikon cameras at £40 its ridiculously cheap. But not as cheap as the bargain i got yesterday. I bought 3 yongnuo yn460 flashes for £78 just £26 each! I will run the ttl yn465 flash on a cable and the 3 yn460 in slave mode. If this doesn't work i will get some wireless triggers, again from yongnuo there only £12 each.

Glad you found the Yonguo as I did. I have had no problem using the slave feature on mine. For some unaccountable reason it doesn't seem to care where it gets its signals from and is not at all snobbish.:D

I'm looking for a flash for my 60d. Could you let us in ion your bargin source?

Thanks

I've never used them so I can't comment on their service.

This is a manual flash if you want a ttl one look at the yn-465 which i also own it great but this cost a little extra £40 still a bargain.

I am looking for flashguns but noticed that it says Nikon only. Anyone know if these wiill work with the Canon Eos range. Looking at the YN-465.
Thanks
