Questions about Yongnuo kit

[HamezUK]

Looking at getting some new kit to experiment strobist with and have been looking at the Yongnuo bits as they seem great value.

Thinking about getting a set of the 622n's and one or two 568 flash guns.

My questions are, what is the difference between the 568ex and the 568ex II?
If there is a major difference, is there an EX II for Nikon?

Where is the the best place to buy them in UK that would look after you should something go wrong?

:shrug:

From the official Yongnuo ebay store:

"YN-568EX II is the 2nd generation of the YN-568EX (click to buy) . The difference between these two generations is that the YN-568EX II can be a Master flash, while the YN-568EX can't. In other respects, they are same."

Don't know, where to buy in UK.

Got mine from the above shop and paid custom duty... still cheap!

I bought mine from clickyourshop.co.uk for £119... no duty since it is shipped from the UK. I can confirm that it can act as a master... I have tried it with the first version of the YN-568EX and it worked well.

Not your lucky day. I've ordered plenty from HKYN and many others and never been stung for import duty once.

I used to say that. Now I get caught every time.

Noting used to be "customized" a year or so back... now *everything* is! And every time!

I think, it's a political decision... check everything chinese!


Still a good deal, though.
$116 + dkr. 270 (import duty) = £103 for a 560-III and two RF-603.
