External flash for 602Z and equivalent

[Gr|ever]

Geez.... All these seems very complex & complicated! Do you really have the time to calculate all these aperture & stuff when you're taking pictures? By the time the equations are solved, you might have already lost the right moment for the picture liao right?

From the website mpenza introduce, good flash has LCD (very ex) to indicate the setting suitable for our cam. If it's cheaper flash, it should hav a table stick on the flash as a guideline.

Just got the Metz 32 Z 1. Is the yellow cast normal? All the pictures have a yellow cast to it.

It's normal - just set your custom white balance and use it whenever your flash is the primary source of illumination.

had missed this post. I believe that 420EX does not have any automatic modes and it's a pain to use it on the 602Z (it'll behave like a primitive manual flash). Not too sure about the 550EX. Prices are around $300++ for 420EX and ~$600 for the 550EX.

 

[oooh]

i don't think is possible to add this flash to a 602 because of the bracket. 420ex pins are not retractable and 602 do not have the groove for the extra pins.

I'm shooting alot, but I still cannot figure out the "rule/principle" for compensating exposure.. it's terrible, It's always a heng heng thing when I use ISO400 on cam and ISO200 on the flash.. if the colour is ok, I accept it.. if not reshoot.. like that how to learn?

need advise on whether SB25 is suitable for 602? is it as good as sb24? what are it's pros and cons?

 

[mpenza]

SB25 is as good as, if not better than the SB24.........

 

[shawntim]

not too sure about the sb24, but the sb25 has multiple contact points with the 602 hotshoe instead of just 1 in the centre. no problem right?

SB24 has multiple contact point as well. Works fines with the 602Z.
