I'd never cared much for the 85mm f/1.8 - until I put it on the 5D 2. Wow. I'm hooked now, glad I did not sell it like I had planned to do.

580EXII into EzyBox with PW FlexTT5

580EXII into EazyBox with PW FlexTT5, originally uploaded by Music Man5.

I have been testing the new Pocket Wizards with my various modifiers and this is the Lastolite 24x24 Ezybox.

The Ezybox is marvelous soft box for your shoe mounted flashes. In this photo the 580EX II is being fired by the Pocket Wizard FlexTT5.

The Ezybox folds up quite small and is very easy to transport.

Check out the Ezybox here and the FlexTT5 here.

black Ultimate LIght Box / 580EXII / FlexTT5

black Ultimate LIght Box / 580EXII / FlexTT5, originally uploaded by Music Man5.

I've been testing the new Pocket Wizards with my various light modifiers and one of my favorites so far is this combo. The Harbor Digital "Ultimate Light Box". The kit comes with two 'shells', one black (this one) and an frosted one. As I was not needing to light much area I went with the black shell for this experiment.

You can get this modifier for most any flash but HERE is a link to the Canon 580EX II version. This kit is very versatile and easy to use.


Would make a great holiday gift for the Canon shooter in your family.
