Canon 580EX II Speedlite Flash

Details

The Canon 580EX II Speedlite Flash is the professional lighting accessory for the Canon EOS System. A great tool for wedding photography and journalism, the Canon 580EX II offers photographers the control they desire to achieve the best exposures. The Canon 580EX II offers great output and can become even more versatile when used with PocketWizards or the ST-E2 transmitter allowing the Speedlite to be used off camera. The 580EX II can also control other Canon Speedlites.

Make sure you get some batteries for your new flash! This flash requires 4 AA batteries. We recommend Sanyo Eneloop batteries.
