I own a 430ex ii and i barely ever use in on full power.
I shoot weddings and portraits, and bounce a lot. I Fong it sometimes.
I only use it in manual mode, and stay 1/8th - 1/4th mostly.

BONUS ROUND!
Is there anyone with both models willing to do a real world field test.
Distance, coverage, etc...

Thanks,

first you should start a new thread because it really is a new/different topic and this thread is several years old.

why use a 430/580 in manual mode? or better question if you always shoot in manual why waste your money on all the sophisticated electronics of ettl in the canon flash?
