About this product

Product Information

Further development of Canon's flagship Speedlite has led to the production of the 580 EX II. This is the premier Speedlite for all photographers, including professionals. Newly designed to match with the EOS-1D Mark III in terms of improved dust- and water-resistance, body strength, and the ability to control flash functions and settings from the camera menu (EOS-1D Mark III only). Other features include improved communication reliability through its direct contacts, and recycling time is both 20% shorter than the 580EX and is completely inaudible.

    You need to be sure this is what you need. In its hay day this was the top of the line Canon flash. That said it can still hold its own as a high end, high performance flash. Think about how you are going to use it. I bought it as a "master" flash for my EOS1 mkiii so I can use my EZ430ii as a slave. While it will work outdoors, it's best used in a studio environment. If your thinking of attaching the 580EXII to your EOS80 and using it outside for fill in flash, then yes sure it will do the job perfectly but its overkill. In the studio as a master flash controlling groups of slave flash(es) it will come into its own and is where it will perform best. In short, be sure you need one. If most of your work is out side when all you need is a fill-in flash there are cheaper models available and you would not need all the bells and whistles of the 580EXII

  • A great flash

    A great Flash gun. I now have 3 for multi flash set ups. I have now found somthing Cheaper, not Canon that is compatible, So I might go for one of these. I love the 580EX though. Trouble is so do a lot of other people and thats keeping the price high. The flash has now been superceeded buy two that know of, although the 600EX retails for £600. For the money this is a fantastic flash.

  • Muito bom

    Um flash muito bom com uma grande rapidez de recarga o que permite tirar fotos muito rapidamente. Não é muito fácil de manusear por iniciantes, mas também não é nada que uma leitura do seu manual não resolva. È um must have para smeprofissionais ou prós.

  • Quality flash so easy to use.

    I'm no expert so no technical stuff. This was bought second-hand and I'm very pleased with it. Had a Whale of a time at Christmas with this flash and a sync lead. Can't fault the performance and was impressed with how easy it is to get excellent results. Definitely a five star product!

  • Older model but still worth having

    This model has been superseded by a new model, but if you can find one in good condition, it is well worth having. I have a cheaper flash, and it has served me well. After upgrading to a full frame camera (without the popup flash) I decided to purchase this flash. It links to the camera via TTL and works well and the batteries seem to last a lot longer then they do in my cheap flash. It gives me consistent shots and I know it is going to work when ever I need it too.

  • What a brilliant peace of kit.

    Highly recommend for indoor photography. I mainly use lowest setting or one up as its very bright, build quality is very good also. Excellent peace of kit.
