Flash recommendations for Canon 5D Mark III

5 years 3 months ago #626341 by F Anderson
I'm going to fire off one more question.  As pointed out in my intro here.  I started photography in November when my parents bought me this Canon 5D Mark III as a gift for doing well with school.  I then took some savings and bought a few lenses.  

I want to get a flash and would like to get a better understanding what's a good flash for someone getting started with a Canon 5D Mark III, but will last and do the job.  

I really appreciate the help.

So I just Google'd that and found:  www.keh.com/shop/yongnuo-yn568ex-flash-f...vel-zoom-679080.html

Which is priced less than the others shown.  

That's the flash you mentioned.  But that one is showing for Nikon.  Can this work on a Canon body?

Thank you Gary.

Keep googling. They make different version for different systems.

And they're inexpensive enough to buy new, so I wouldn't suggest a used one.
