[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	Hi I currently have a 40D and 420ex with a few low end lenses and was looking to upgrade my speedlight to something with a little more power. I mostly just take shots of my kiddo but I'm looking to upgrade my flash. Anyone know if the difference between the 420ex and 430ex is enough to make upgrading worth it or should I just move straight to the 580? -----signature----- *1f y0u c4n r34d 7h15, y0u r34\|\|y n33d 70 637 \|41d. * This space rented by my slave _ArchbishopLazarus_

	the 580ex is a AWESOME lens when used off camera. I only use flashes off camera, so I dunno about on camera. if you can afford the 580ex, get that one. -----signature----- May the bridges I burn light my way Isolated in defiance, I will remain May the bridges I burn light my way I will never comply, I'll forever defy

	What do you even look at when choosing a flash? Is each one just bigger and brighter than the other with a faster possible rate of fire? Flashes are something I know absolutely nothing about... -----signature----- 'member dat? True dat.

	well, as a "strobist" (LOL) I look for how it works in manual mode, how it can be fired off camera, and the guide numbers, although I am still learning those, as they differ from manufacturer to manuf... if you want to learn to use them off camera, go visit http://www.strobist.com and click on Lighting 101 -----signature----- May the bridges I burn light my way Isolated in defiance, I will remain May the bridges I burn light my way I will never comply, I'll forever defy
