Click any image to see it full size

The Speedlite 550EX is one of Canon's most advanced flashes, succeeded only by the marginally more powerful and significantly more expensive 580EX.The 550EX is a powerful flash and has a Guide Number of 138' at 50mm and 180' at 105mm, making it perfect for a variety of creative lighting scenarios. This amount of flash power is very useful for effective fill flash, even from a distance, on bright, sunny days and bounce flash when shooting indoors. Features-wise, the 550EX boasts fully automatic operation and supports both TTL and the more recent E-TTL metering, full manual mode, bounce/swivel flash head with motorized zoom, flash exposure compensation, flash exposure lock, wireless TTL mode, stroboscopic / FP flash and a backlit LCD display. Build quality is extremely solid and, for this reason alone, is worth consideration over aftermarket flashes, which are often rather plasticky and fragile.Combined with the optional ST-E2 Wireless Transmitter (check my other listings), multiple 550EX's can be combined to achieve studio-like lighting with full support for flash ratios of up to 8:1.•Autozoom head covers from 17-105mm, with the aid of an integrated flip-down wide-angle adapter•Full support for TTL, A-TTL and E-TTL metering•Flash exposure compensation•Flash exposure lock •Second-curtain sync •Wireless TTL flash when combined with ST-E2 Transmitter & multiple 550 EX's •Stroboscopic mode shows several minute flashes continuously to easily view flash effect •4 Infared channels for multiple users in congested areas •Ratio flash lighting of up to 8:1 when used with ST-E2 Transmitter & multiple 550 EX's This flash is in EXCELLENT condition and comes complete with mini stand, soft Canon carry case and even a set of alkaline batteries to get you up-and-running.Compatible with ALL Canon EOS-series film and digital camera bodies.
