Rent NowCanon Speedlite 380EX Flash
The Canon Speedlite 380EX is a classic, highly reliable clip-on shoe-mount flash originally introduced alongside the legendary EOS Elan II/IIe film camera series. Engineered to deliver sophisticated, automatic illumination, this versatile flash utilizes Canon’s advanced E-TTL (Evaluative Through-The-Lens) exposure metering system to calculate the perfect flash output instantly.
Whether paired with a vintage EOS 35mm film SLR or mounted onto a modern Canon EOS DSLR camera body, the 380EX serves as an excellent, compact lighting tool for event documentation, fill-flash portraiture, and everyday casual snapshot photography.
CONDITION NOTE (GOOD WORKING GRADE)
This flash unit is in Good Condition. It has been fully bench-tested and remains 100% operational across all manual, automatic, and TTL firing modes.
Included Accessories: Ships complete with its original padded protective carrying pouch to safeguard the flash body during travel and storage.
Cosmetic Condition: The exterior housing shows light, standard signs of previous use, including minor surface scuffs or rub marks. The hot shoe mount locks down securely, the battery compartment contacts are entirely clean and free of corrosion, and the flash bulb fires with excellent power consistency.
High-Output Zoom Capability & Creative Flash Control
Powerful Guide Number Output: Delivers a maximum Guide Number of 38 in meters (125 in feet) at ISO 100, providing generous power throwing distance to cleanly illuminate large rooms, group gatherings, or distant wedding receptions.
Six-Position Auto Zoom Head: Built with an intelligent motorized zoom head that automatically tracks and couples to the specific focal length of your lens from 24mm to 105mm. This focuses the light beam precisely to match your framing, preventing wasted power at the frame edges and maximizing battery efficiency.
Vertical Bounce Capability: The flash head can be tilted vertically upward from 0 to 90 degrees. This allows you to bounce the light off ceilings or walls, softening harsh directional shadows to produce beautiful, professional-looking interior portraits.
FP High-Speed Sync Support: Supports high-speed focal-plane (FP) flash synchronization. This creative control enables you to use the flash at shutter speeds faster than your camera’s standard flash sync limit, making it easy to capture wide-open outdoor portraits with shallow depth of field in broad daylight.
