Hi All,


After a recent daytrip to the Chicago Botanic Gardens and taking some portrait photos at night, I've finally realized I have all the lenses I need for awhile and decided to focus on all the accesssories I still need. I'm looking to save $$ without wasting them on something that won't work with what I have. Which brings me to a few questions ...


#1 - I have a 7D, 580EX II & 430EX II, Yongnuo RF-602. I know I will need to get an additional receiver but I am looking to purchase one more speedlight and don't know if I should...


a) Buy another used 430EX II
b)YongnuoSpeedlight - doany of these models work with a 7D?I have read some don't.
c) Is there something else I should look at in speedlights or other types of lighting in general?

Basically, I'm just looking forbackground fill light for portraits.

#2) With a 7D and Induro BHD2 ballhead, which "L" bracket would work best? When Bryan posted the news about theArca-Swiss L Bracket , I thought it was pretty cool until I saw the price, $250.00!

Other Choices:

a)Acratech Universal "L" Bracket - $229.95
b) Kirk - $140.00
c) RRS - $140.00
d)Something else?


Suggestions appreciated! Thanks Much!!

Denise
