This has been a great flash for me, providing manual and automatic settings. However, I switched over to a Nikon camera awhile back and haven't used this flash since. It has been well cared for and stored without batteries. It comes with a stand, LumiQuest Pocket Bouncer, Case, and Manual.

A professional flash for the EOS-system, the 550EX offers every feature supported by the every EOS series camera in a package of exceptional workmanship. Full manual control of flash output is possible, or use the TTL flash capabilities of the camera it is mounted on.
