Meet the new Canon Speedlite 580EX II which works perfectly with the new EOS-1D Mark III in terms of improved dust- and water-resistance, body strengthened ability to control flash functions and settings from the camera menu (EOS-1D Mark III only). This one is an upgrade to the 580EX and hence the recycling time is both 20% shorter than its predecessor.

#Approx. 20% faster recycling time compared to 580EX

#Superior build quality, including a metal foot for higher rigidity

#Max. Guide No. 58 at 105mm setting (GN 190, feet)

#Auto conversion of flash coverage with compatible digital SLR cameras

#White Balance info communicated instantly to compatible digital SLR cameras

#Full swivel, 180° in either direction

#AF-assist beam, compatible with all AiAF points on every EOS SLR

#Dust- and water- resistance to match the EOS-1D Mark III
