Canon 600D Lenses and Flash

[jc258]

Hi guys,
I bought my 600D a couple of months back, but Im looking at expanding my gear and getting a new lens(es) and flash for my bag. Does anyone have any recommendations for a beginner looking to expand and learn?

Hi JC258
Welcome to the forum. Before we answer your question it would be helpful if you let us know what you photograph... Graham

Hi graham,

I use the camera for just about anything: for taking photos of friends, landscape/scenery, cars etc. Still very novice though at this stage. Tried my hand at astrophotography the other night, but didnt have much luck with light pollution and probably the lens? Im not sure if the lens affect the picture.

For Flash look at this Younguo 565EX ETTL Speedlite will sync to 200th sec or the 568 EX ETTL will fully sync at any shutter speed, they do cheaper models as well but the 2 above are a third of the price of the canon 580 EX and just about match it.
