Specialist Note "The 430EX is often considered the 'sweet spot' in Canon's flash lineup. It provides almost all the power of the flagship models but in a significantly smaller and lighter body. What I love about this unit is the tactile feel of the buttons and the clear LCD—it's very easy to jump into manual mode when you want to get creative. The serial number 093852 belongs to a production run known for its consistency and durability. It’s a workhorse that feels right at home on everything from a compact Rebel to a professional 5D series body."
