Description
· The 580 EX II is a premier Speedlite
for all photographers, including professionals. It is
designed to match with the EOS-1D Mark III, in terms of
improved dust and water-resistance, body strength, 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.
