Advantages: Readily available second-hand; many features; easy to use; Disadvantages: DOES NOT WORK WITH DIGITAL CAMERAS
...the 'solid workhorse' of the Canon Speedlite range. Much cheaper than the top-of-the-range 540EZ, it has an excellent Guide Number (GN) of 43 (100 ISO film, in metres) and has a range of up to 20m or so. It comes in a vinyl pouch with clear-easy to understand instructions. It uses 4x AA size batteries, and don't consider using ordinary batteries unless you have a deep bank balance, as they do not last long. Rechargeables not only recharge the flash ... ...WITH THE CURRENT GENERATION OF CANON DIGITAL SLR CAMERAS (except in fully-manual mode) and so I had to replace this unit when I went digital.
If you are a film user and want an excellent, powerful, all-purpose Canon flashgun, you could do no better. They originally cost about £150 (15 years ago!!), but are now for sale for £20 or so - a real bargain!
