Don't waste your money

Thought I was saving money. My second yn588ex just died. Lucky to get a few sessions out of it.

Great Speedlite

By Chris

This is a fantastic speedlite for the price. I did a lot of research to find a speedlite that had Through-The-Lens auto adjustments, a tilting and rotating head, and had great ratings from others for a low price. This is it. I am also extremely happy with B & H. There have been a few items I have found for a few dollars cheaper from other stores, but B & H has the best selection, the best customer service, and they are always there to help when you have questions.
