[QUOTE="SteveL54, post: 348776, member: 17080"] As previously posted, my 565EX has expired after very light use - only about 200 flashes. I bought this flash in January, and, clearly I've used it very little. I was asked to take pictures at an outdoor event that my company was sponsoring. It was all under tents, so a flash was needed.
