[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 456376, member: 14443"] reliability with yongnuo is nothing to do with budget. there is a reason why they sell more than anyone. theyre very reliable and deliver wedding after wedding that I shoot. the 565 has know missfire issues with the 622n and I just decided to give away to my ladies daughter as shes a photography student. I dont know of bolt or cactus. they look nice but overpriced. but metz has just gone downhill and imo are just not rellevant. I had the 58 AF2 and sold that as fast as I could. the menu system is horrible and recycle time is 5 seconds at full power and thats unacceptable. they already files for insolvency and I think they will close shop in the near future. theyre simply overpriced and underspeced. anything over $200 is too much for a full specced flagship flash that has build and performance. for the prices yonguo charge, theres no need for warranty. you simply toss it and get another for $100. ive beat on mine for the last two years mercilessly and they say thank you may I have another. I shoot around 1500 pics a wedding with them. the shanny flash recycle in 2 seconds at full power. it will happen when youll shoot people standing in front of you and bouncing the flash up, the flash will fire at full or almost full power and youll be glad the recycle was as fast as possible so you can shoot again. it happens to everyone. you fire and you hear that whine sound.
