Very quietly he is not Allerding. In a quiet environment, take the
Ladefiepen but true clearly what has, however, turned out to be real advantage:
If the sound died away, the flash is charged. Therefore the boring
Look at the Ready light.
The guide number 27 is sufficient for most situations.
I use it mostly for brightening contrast scenes.
The remote tripping over my STE-E2 works fine.
And the remote triggering of the camera via flash fits perfectly.
I have taken the extra charge to the predecessor model 270EX gladly accept,
to flash 270EX II unleashed with the can and my camera
trigger for self-portraits of the distance.
In addition I have also indulged in a Bouncer (diffuser)
but to be honest, this brings no discernible difference.
Correct soft shadows I reach with my flashes only in combination
with a light screen (on tripod, unleashed)
The included pocket or bag is really only useful for protection during transport.
The belt can be the flash so do not wear. But it fits perfectly in the pocket of the ST-E2
and also together with the ST-E2 in the case of the 430EX (with some practice).
Since I have no built-in flash with my 5D Mark II, the 270EX II is the perfect
Companion for all situations in which the ambient light is too weak or too contrasty.
Conclusion: My new favorite flash
