Canon Speedlite 580MkII

    Hi everyone,

    After asking advice on flashes on here and doing some research I’ve decided to get a Canon speedlite 580 MkII

    Before shelling out for a new one I though I’d chance my arm and see if anyone has one they’re looking to get rid of?

    thanks… you can reply to this thread or feel free to PM me!

    Hi,

    To be honest the 580 EXII has only recently replaced the 580 EX so you will
    have a tough job getting a used model.

    Alan: Yeah I just thought now harm in asking! In case, you know, someone got one as an unwated gift maybe? (I can dream!)

    Paul: Thanks for the offer. The MkII is available to buy new online, under warranty, for €320 so I’ll decline the offer and save a little for the new one.

    Thanks guys – guess I’ll just have to be a good girl to Santie gets me one…

    Hi

    Just remember if you are buying the flash from inside the EU
    you will have to pay delivery and if you are buying it fromoutside
    the EU you will have to pay between 25 & 30% on import duty
    and tax as well as delivery!

    even an post are holding items with a value over €100 ish
    until the tax and duty are payed to them.

    Sorry to be negative!

    Try Ian Kerr at kerso1123msn.com

    He has the 580EX II for about £240-250 + delivery (no extra VAT or Duty) – might be less with the VAT reduction.

    With 84p to the Euro at the moment, you should do well purchasing from the UK.

    Ian Kerr is definitely the way to go for buying inside the EU.

    Hi Alan,

    Thanks for the warning… I was keeping this in mind by considering a UK seller on Ebay
    http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=300275385535

    Plus P&P is would work out at about €350.

    BM: thanks a million – I’ll def. check him out. With the conversion rate as it is that sounds like the best deal I’ve seen!
    Is it a UK shop with no website that takes e-mail orders or is it a person?

    thanks everyone!

    There is no web site, but he does have an e-bay shop (Flash camera). He always offers better deals away from e-bay, so send him an e-mail.

    He’s very reliable and trustworthy.

    Products are imported by him to UK.
