How good is that flash? I want to get a flash for my camera and don't really have a huge budget.

[maj. tom]

Hey DVSTT, great work! How about some long exposure experimenting with colors in motion? Water, cars, stars, birds, airplanes, dust, oil, oil film on water while flowing, even a large high end speaker coil?

I am amazed and awed at Hipgnosis photography and art.

It's pretty awesome for the price. You should get the YN565 as a main flash though, the 560II doesn't have as much features as the 565. However if you just want a basic flash the 560II is very hard to beat.

[pete]

My camera's not on the compatibility page for the 565 so don't know if it'll work with the TTL. It's also about $90 more than the 560.. maybe I'll just wait for later in the year before I decide.

What camera do you have?

@maj.tom, eventually, don't get much time to set up shots now as exams are a month away so busy studying :/

Canon SX40

On the compatibility site they have the SX30IS listed as compatible with the YN-468 and a ? for the 565. It should work and on their facebook page someone has asked if it works so hopefully they can get an answer to confirm it.

I really can't say if it will work or not. Does it have a hotshoe? If it doesnt support ETTL then you'd be better off getting the yn560II. I don't use the ettl anyway, just nice to have it there in case my dad uses the camera cuz he only uses auto lolz

[pete]

Yeah it has a hotshoe. You can't see it in the pictures on amazon because it has a cover.

Ext Flash Connection: Hot-Shoe (E-TTL)

[DVSTT]

The hot shoe is identical to what is on my t2i. The YN560 only has one prong which fits on the big circle on the hotshoe, making it a manual flash. The YN565II has 5 prongs fitting it into all the circles on the hotshoe, this is for ettl. I am not 100% sure it will work, but more than likely it will.

I've had mine for two weeks, but I'm having some strange problems when using it with Canon SX40. If set my camera to M mode the flash doesn't fire at all. In any other camera modes it's working (manual or ETTL, with full control from camera). I've tried to set the flash in manual mode or in ETTL, but nothing. Has anyone have any suggestion? Thanks.

I tested the Canon PowerShot SX40 HS with YN-622C and YN-568EX

flash works equally well on the camera and on the transmitter and receiver
I found only one oddity
AF-assist YN-622C was not working, but worked built-in camera AF assist light

Before he test, I did reset the custom settings in the camera, and as well as reset the settings of the flash and trigger
Reset better to do with the camera mounted on the flash.

Flash release date 08.2012

Unfortunately I do not have more opportunities to test

Hope this helps you out.

[pete]

Thanks, I did a couple searches after you mentioned the 565 and it seems it might work. Really want to get an external flash some time this year. The stock flash really doesn't give good results.

once the ettl, af assist etc are supported by the cam then go for it. If it's not, you might as well go yn560ii.

DVSTT-what those flashes cost you landed?

My dad brought the 565 for me. The 560II was about 75USD and it cost my $550TTD total I think.

Boy I suffer through my IAs, finish the math one today . Now to do some hardcore studying

[Dragist]

I also have a Tammy 17-50mm f2.8 non VC that I love .

[cornfused]

I have the Tammy 25-75 f/2.8 XR Di LD, no VC but really who cares , as sharp as the 50mm 1.8 with zoom , comparable and in some instance better than the Canon Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM Lens. Have not tested against the 50mm 1.4 .

Four tack sharp lenses in that write up
