[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 349843, member: 12496"] GN 58 only applies to 105mm zoom (which is not the usual way speedlights are used, but marketing likes to pick the highest number :) ). The Guide Number chart is in the back of its manual. It is GN 28 (meters) at 24mm zoom, and other values in between. IMO, there is no problem with color temperature or consistency. My YN565EX works fine. There are some little things, but big picture, it works great, and is an unbelievable bargain. Either TTL or Manual, today HSS does both (either). Manual would not be necessary, TTL would do automatic fill level (because it is TTL BL, unless you overrode it to be TTL mode, when you would have to compensate for fill). OK, then I'm unsure of your availability of American 1/4-20 NC screws for the flash shoes. :) I think British Whitworth are not the same thing. The diameters are the same, but Whitworth is 55 degree threads and American NC is 60 degrees. It sounds like a serious bind. Do whatever you do for camera tripod screws then. They are the common 1/4-20 screws here in America, available everywhere here (ANSI UTS NC, Unified Thread Standard, National Coarse), but I suspect it is a specialty item elsewhere. The Stroboframe 300 shoes do include the screws. And the Alienbees are 120 volts AC only, so are not compatible there. Their specifications are comparable to Elinchrom D-lite models (but arguably better :) ). [/QUOTE]
