Canon Speedlight 430 EX III-RT The best on camera flash for Canon. A review after many assignments
I have been using the Canon 430 EX III RT Speedlight flashgun for a while and have shot many successful professional photography assignments with it. In this video I share my thoughts about whether this is the best flash for canon cameras and how it stacks up against the other options from brands such as Godox. I have been using the flashgun with the Canon R5 Mirrorless camera and the 5d mark IV DSLR full frame camera. All opinions are my own based on my own experience. Feel free to comment or ask questions. Thanks for watching!

You pointed out some very important items. For me, I wanted an "all-purpose" travel lens that focused quickly, has a wide focal range, is light-weight, and of course, SHARP! This lens checked all those boxes. I also have a 14 - 35mm RF lens for low-light situations and wide-angle shots. Of course, I have other lenses in my camera bag that I use when I want to be "creative", but for travel, the 24-105 will definitely "get the job done".

Looking forward to receiving it and seeing how i get on with it. Like you i leave on the lens correction in lightroom so never think about it as a issue , most lenses have distortion to some degree. Glad Canon produced an ultra wide for the RF mount that is rectilinear as being able to use this with my filter kit was a major consideration as a lot of 14mm lenses are so bulbous you can use standard filters with them.

    Personally I own the Canon EF 50mm f2.5 Macro lens and it's definitely recommended and it's better than the f1.8 versions. The 50mm f2.5 has the same design as the 50mm f1.8 mark 1 but with much better close up focus macro features. the autofocus will be a little bit slower and more noise but it's just as accurate as the other versions of this lens. the optical performance is nearly the same as all the f1.8 versions and the f2.5 is just a small difference so that's no problem. I think this f2.5 version is the best version of this 50mm optical design

      @@justusgovaert I found the slower AF annoying for general work but for macro photography is wonderful

    The Info Button is a mystery. I click on it and expect to be able to dial thru the infos. Nope, it just turns off. And the 3 buttons at. the top don't change anything.

    I’ve been shooting with the Canon R5 since it came out but recently started using my Mark IV as a 2nd camera for concert photography. R5 is higher res and a little more dynamic range but when you get a good shot on the 5D, it can be exceptional. Especially with prime lenses and some post processing. It also pairs well with the 70-200. Wide angle shots low key can suffer from noise when you illuminate and use of lens corrections can cause bad moire. And I need to spend time with noise reduction and crushing blacks. 5D is a pro camera that has great colors and tones. Classic shooters can master it and wow people with the photography. The computational photography future with AI software is getting insane but hand people a manual film camera and there’s nowhere to hide. Also, I own the Manfrotto view finder you feature in the video, going to try it for stills. I’ve gotten used to reviewing in the R5 viewfinder.
