rear curtain synch on Canon speedlite 270EX: will this flash synch with the rear curtain on a 5D MII?

Canon sent out BIOS updates for compatability with the 270EX, if your camera has this update it should be compatable with it. From the usa.canon.com: With only a simple on-off switch on its exterior, it may appear at first glance that the Speedlite 270EX offers almost no user control. However, this isn't the case - if used with any of Canon's recent Digital SLRs (EOS Rebel XS/XSi, EOS 40D/50D, EOS 5D Mark II, and the top-of-the-line "Mark III" cameras), their new Flash Menu feature allows you to control any EX-series Speedlite via the camera as well as the flash. When attached to any one of these models, the Speedlite 270EX allows you to select 2nd-curtain flash sync, manual flash mode (from full to 1/64th power, in 1/3-stop increments) Flash Exposure Compensation, and your choice of evaluative or average flash metering.

I would definitely not get this. The light output will be similar to your built-in flash, but without the biggest benefits of having a hot shoe flash, like being able to change the angle of the flash. Save up and get the Canon Speedlite 430EX II. The only reason I got the 90ex is because it is tiny and can be carried in a pocket easily in case the need arises to use on my 5d Mark iii which does not have a built in flash.

When I purchased this bounce light difusser it would not fit/stay on one of the listed compatible flashes. They sent another one quickly, but I had the same experience with it not fitting either. Finally, I went with the one that looks almost the same but has the velcro strap attached to assist it securing it to the flash. It worked for me.

It is specifically designed for the Canon 580 EX Speedlight flash (and I think it also fits the Canon 580 EX II. I doubt that this model would fit any other brand flash. Go to the Stofen website for more information.

I have that flash and it does not interfere with the flash sensor as long as you mount the soft box correctly

I haven't tried that particular combination, but the 90EX is an ETTL flash. My wife uses it with her 6D and I've used it with my 5D Mark III. The hotshoe on the G15 works with all ETTL flashes, so I can't see why it wouldn't work. Sounds like a good match in terms of size. I will say, however, that the 270EX II is more versatile with it's tilting head.

I have, but still used speedlite. The mount does not seem to be compatible with speed rings, but not 100% sure.

Yes, the Yongnuo 560iii flash is fully compatible with the Lightsphere Collapsible Speed Mount.

I have the 5Diii and the version II of this flash unit (YN-565EXII) and there are no compatibility issues. I can control the flash from the camera menu both on-camera and off-camera using the YN622C flash triggers. I believe the only difference between the original 565EX and the 565EXII is the LCD layout. Yongnuo says they function the same. In any case, I would get the version II - it will work with your 5diii.

My experience with using Canon Speedilite 270EX II... the pictures are always Overexposed. To the point where they're completely white-out.

Sorry I have 5d mark III,I know it's compatible with canon speedlite 600 EX

It will work with any speed light. You with need to have an umbrella bracket of which you can get through amazon as well. Plus you will need rf trigger of some kind as the speed light will be inside softbox and line of sight will not trigger the flash.

I have only used it with a 5DMarkII- worked very well. I did use it strobs but the unit was attached to the camera.

If you are looking for remote trigger your flash, yes this works perfectly. But if you are looking for remote the camera, the cable which comes with this does not work for 5D Mark III

I haven't used with this camera, but according to this information about the camera firmware, it does (it mentions adding support to a specific 270ex feature on firmware 1.0.5): http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/firm-e/eosdigital5/firmware.html

Yes, compatible. I have both a 60D and a T3i and have no issues with this flash. Instructions aren't very good but you can set the camera options for staggering your flash curtain if that's what you are referring to. I've had 3 flashes, returned every one of them and have now had this for over a year and it's still kicking. Really like this flash for the price. Hope this helps.
