[QUOTE="skene, post: 456461, member: 13155"] ok, so you say that Yongnuo isn't a budget friendly flash? Or that the reliability of the Yongnuo has nothing to do with the budget friendly price of it? Please explain. IME, Yongnuo works. For a budget minded shooter it works great. I recommend it for anyone that is getting started into strobes only because it does what it's supposed to do, for someone with a budget. Someone that does not want to go and spend high $$$ on a flash. You also acknowledge that they also do have their shortcomings. All companies will have positives and negatives with their products. Metz, even if they filed for insolvency, does that take away anything from the product itself? If you want it to last 15-20 years down the line, which product would you think would withstand that test of time and still be working. Nikon I can clearly say will have that long shelf life regardless of how many bulbs end up being replaced, the same would be said about Metz. Cactus is still early in their stages of the flash builds, but it would be worth looking into if you are currently working with any of their flash triggers. Shanny still a relative newcomer, that I know nothing of other than seeing their flash on Amazon and Ebay. Targeting their consumers at a budget pricepoint the same way as Yongnuo. [/QUOTE]
