Canon 430EX II Canon 430EX II from £209.95. Enjoy faster recharge cycles (up to 20% faster than the previous model) between flashes with the Canon Speedlite 430EX II. The unit also makes absolutely no noise while recharging. The 430EX II is designed to maximise digital image quality when using the flash. It has a guide number of 43 (m/ISO 100 at 105mm), ideal for telephoto and bounce flash work. When attached to digital EOS cameras with smaller than full-frame sensors, the Speedlite 430EX II gives a more accurate flash coverage by detecting the model to which it is attached and automatically narrowing the angle of coverage. This has the effect of eliminating light loss in peripheral areas and extending the effective flash range. The 430EX II will also automatically set the ideal white balance by transferring colour temperature information to recent Canon digital SLR models. The flash head can be rotated a full 180° left, 90° right and 90° up
