Re: Need advice: flash and lens.

You may want to consider the Vivitar 285s since you are shooting animals you probably wont need ttl if you are far enough away you will just be firing at max power. I think they are under 80 dollars each so you can always replace them. They are pretty hard to destroy and have none of the fancy stuff. Not sure what your guide number requirements are so it's a bit harder to pick a flash for you. The vivitar will run try before it shuts off so no problem there :) You can also chain it to a portable battery pack like the turbo z if you plan on firing a lot.
