It takes ages to hunt down dust and that bloody grease Canon use on their shutter curtains. It shows badly at this magnification.<br />I took fourteen shots this morning had had four flash misfires. I really think that Canon should plate the hotshoe contacts. It's fine now I've given them a good rub with a cotton bud. I know that not everyone drags their camera out in all weathers but even so they charge enough for a camera with no QC certificate.<br />ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-41121855858283997242015-08-05T11:05:35.578+01:002015-08-05T11:05:35.578+01:00John, I feel comfortable with this lens now.

That Chinese strobe set up like the MT 24 EX is maybe worth a look but is still expensive if it's rubbish. The only way with live stuff is to hand hold I now use 1/60s to 1/100s, both well under sync speed but it does allow the background to expose.
