Why buy a Canon Speedlight when this is so good
I had to get a newsflash after my Speedlight 440 gave up the ghost. I was almost set to buy another when I stopped. Have you seen the price of the Canon flashes? I used to be pro (hence the 440) but now my days as a flasher are behind me. I still do the odd big group as a favour but I no longer have a need for a top flight piece of equipment.So I bought the 882C. What a pleasant surprise. This is a genuine quality flashgun. Loaded with features and seems almost as robust as my old Canon. If there is a drawback it might be the soft box that came with it. This was so badly deformed it looked as if someone had parked a car on it. Definitely wouldn't fit without major surgery. But it does very nicely as somewhere to hold pens and pencils. I was never going to use it anyway. As a flash this seems very powerful and easily copes with my 18mm Sigma lens, although to be fair it's more like 26mm with the crop. Still, no bleed off and nobody in the middle with their face blasted white.I'm well pleased, just have to see how the longevity is.
