540EZ great for strobist work
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
The Canon Speedlight 540EZ was the top of the line flash for Canon film cameras. Since Canon's digital EOS cameras use E-TTL instead of TTL metering, this flash will not automatically adjust it's power output for proper exposure... for that the EX line of flashes is required.
This flash has 2 other modes though, Manual and Multi/Stroboscopic. For any type of "off camera" flash setup however (strobist.com), these flashes work just fine for that... and can be had for about $70+. These flashes make a great addition to any strobist gear list.
Note: The flash will make a noise as it recharges it's capacitors, however be sure to inquire if it makes any noise while it is fully charged and on standby. I have one which continues to make noises (which can be annoying) while the other is completely silent.
