Canon Speedlite 580EX II

The Canon Speedlite 580EX II is a lighting fixture available to rent from Lightbulb Rentals. We supply film, video, and photography productions across New York City, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh with tested, production-ready gear.

As Canon's top-of-the-line flash for the EOS system, the Speedlite 580EX II from Lightbulb Rentals incorporates the best features from previous models while introducing enhancements tailored for digital photography. With a maximum guide number of 190' (58 m) at ISO 100 (at 105mm focal length), faster recycling times, improved color consistency, and enhanced controls, this flash is invaluable for photographers, especially those working in digital formats.

The 580EX II offers significant improvements over its predecessor. It features enhanced dust- and water-resistance, increased body durability, and the ability to control flash functions directly from compatible EOS-1D Mark III cameras via the camera menu. Other enhancements include improved communication reliability via direct contacts, a robust metal hot shoe, and a recycling time that is 20% faster than the 580EX and virtually silent.

The flash supports all current versions of TTL, including evaluative E-TTL II. This is particularly advantageous for photographers who frequently encounter high-contrast or reflective subjects, such as in wedding photography. E-TTL II technology, when used with compatible Canon cameras (EOS-1D/s Mark II, Mark III, D-20, Elan 7N/E, or newer models) and lenses, adjusts flash power based on subject distance and other factors to ensure precise flash exposure regardless of subject size, reflectivity, or composition.

Key specifications include a category of Camera Accessories, a brand of Canon.
