Cactus AF45 and AF50 P-TTL flash guns... Any good...
The AF50 is only £100 with free shipping from Gadget Infinity's ebay store... For a full featured, P-TTL flash, that's a very good price...

I know their radio triggers are very good. Am quite tempted by their fully manual flashes as well. I don't know how good their P-TTL flashes are sadly.

Aye... I use V4's on a regular basis, with very little trouble... Highly recommended!

I've always steered away from P-TTL in favour of manual (watched Zack Arias's OneLight too many times!!), but I think it would be good to be packing a P-TTL flashgun too...

Unfortunately LBA/FBA doesn't mix well with being a destitute, final year, literature student...

I sir am poor...

Luckily I don't drink and avoid food whenever possible so my student loans pay for camera toys and the rent only!
