Canon Speedlite 430 EZ

The Canon Speedlite 430 EZ is a high-performance, professional-grade flash unit specifically designed for the Canon EOS film camera era. Released alongside the legendary EOS-1, it was the pinnacle of Canon’s A-TTL (Advanced Through-The-Lens) flash technology. With a powerful guide number of 43 (at ISO 100), it provides exceptional light output for both indoor studio work and outdoor fill-flash. Its intelligent auto-zoom head automatically adjusts to match the focal length of your lens (from 24mm to 80mm), while the tilt and swivel capabilities allow for soft, bounced lighting that eliminates harsh shadows.

Expert Advice The 430 EZ is the ultimate flash for Canon EOS film cameras like the EOS-1, EOS 3, or EOS 5. Its A-TTL system communicates perfectly with these bodies to provide flawless exposures. Important Compatibility Note:Because this is an "EZ" series flash, it uses TTL/A-TTL logic, which is not compatible with the E-TTL system of modern Canon Digital (EOS R/DSLR) cameras. On a digital camera, this flash will only work in Manual mode. We recommend using high-capacity rechargeable Ni-MH batteries for the fastest recycle times.
