Help me pick a flash or two - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I'm looking to buy a flash tomorrow.

I don't want to spend too much money. I'm pretty low on funds right now being that I just got my volks, tires, have an exhaust on order, and got $1000 worth of photo gear two weeks ago.

I have a Canon 50D. I want to eventually have 3 external flashes, but right now I only need one. Any reasonably affordable, good suggestions?

You should atleast get one flash that supports ttl. And for off camera flash you have quite a few manual ones to select from like vivitar, old nikon and canon flashes, Sunpak and lumopro just to name a few. I just recently started messing with off camera flash. I still have alot to learn.

I have been trying to get a sb-26 for a reasonable price but people want outrageous prices for them.
