Which came first....

the lens or the flash?

Just curious...I'm at the point of wanting upgraded glass or a flash. What did you do?

(Actually, to be honest, I got a flash that I knew had a slow refresh time, but didn't think it would make that big of a difference. I was SO wrong, and am currently in the process of selling it! I love the flash, just not the refresh time).

If youre replacing a flash, then get a better flash. That's fairly simple there.

As for which to get otherwise: it depends.

I'd get another lens and save up for a good flash.

i'm with jim on this one....

i also have a flash that is a bit slower on the refresh than i like.....but, it really has only hampered me once or twice.....i;d go for more glass as well.....

My vote is for new glass. You'll get way more good out of that in the long run.

Thanks! You have all helped me put my great debate away quickly! DPS is the BEST!

I would say both, at the same time

Haha, I'm having this same debate right now.

I'm wanting to add to my equipment, and am not quite sure. Since I suffer from poor uni student syndrome (which makes a bad acronym, actually...), I'm not sure whether to get a macro lens (the 100mm f/2.8), or get a 430 EXII speedlight (and a off camera wireless setup).

I can't stretch the budget to do both, and I'm thinking the flash may be the best for me for now... yeah? I find it confusing that everyone's recommending new glass at this point. This is me trying to convince myself... haha.
