Come on EPZ. How about a serious review and not just reworked text from the Cullman press release?
I've just been in touch with the UK distributor for Cullman. One thing I asked them was why their flashgun was only 5 pounds cheaper than the genuine Canon 430Ex, there reply was
"We cannot comment on Canon prices as the products do not compare, Cullmann has a better all round specification".
Maybe this is something you could review? Canon will be 100 per cent compatible and unlike third party flashes have not been based upon reverse engineering to make sure their equipment is compatible OEM equipment.
