For those of you who have been asking about information/pics of the Speedlite 420EX, you can find it all in a test in the new issue of Chasseur d'Images (No. 230, Jan/Fev 2001). For the impatient, I can say that they give it four stars; the features they like are its advanced functions, attractive price, compact size, ease of use, adjustable head, and "Mode 'lampe pilote'"; negatives are the lack of manual control over the zoom feature, its restriction to being a slave in multiflash setups, "pas de correcteur �clair," which I take to mean a lack of flash exposure compensation, a "basic" quality of construction, and the absence of a strobe capability. fcc * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
