RE: Canon Speedlite 430EX

The 430EX does a good job and it's only 1/2 a stop less powerful than the 550EX. I've used it with a 10D but the 550EX makes life much easier if you are able to get one.

Cheers,
Jason

RE: Anyone Using The Canon 400 5.6L?

Hi Darren,

Also known as the 'forgotten 400', this is a fantastic lens as per the reviews. The built in lens hood is really neat too. Even though it's f/5.6, it's still super fast and sharp.

Hi Rez (love the pun), Bascially, As far as exposure is concerned with slides, you get back exactly what you took.

RE: Kodak Royal Gold Compared To 'ordinary' Gold

I tried 'Royal Gold' film once and won't touch it again! Although it claims to have 'super fine grain' it really lacks in contrast I think. The normal GOLD 100 has a bit more 'punch' in it and I would use that rather than Royal Gold.
