I've purchased 6 of these so far at various prices and theres a reason the ULTRA MINT CONDITION 540ez goes for much more than the +$60 ones. Mainly these flashes are very old, built well and can endure quite a beating as many of the 540ez flashes I got have more scuffs than my 580ex I use for weddings. They're very durable in that sense. However a flash that has been used over time will reduce its ability to recharge after flashing. My mint condition 540ez will recharge to full flash in about 2 seconds while my 540ez with signs of abuse will recharge in about 6-8 seconds (unacceptable to me unless you're trying to annoy your model). So keep this all in mind when purchasing use 540's.

After 15 years of using the first digital canara made by Olympus I decided to get something more my style. I couldn't afford a new flash for the Canon T1i . I researched and purchased the Canon Speedlite 540 Regular Flash. INCREDABLE product !!! It takes a bit getting used to (still learning) but after Many combinations that the flash offers for use I finally Dialed into what is exactly what i wanted . Although it was used I received an extreem amout of support from the seller , he helped me choose the right settings and was fair about the price for the flash. The flash has too many options to list and very easy to learn with little practice and patience you will be amazed as to what a flash of this caliber can do for you. INCREDABLE !!! You can find just about anything you want on E-Bay if you take your time and research your needs. I took my time and found EXACTLY what I wanted and afford . Rahrtn Pawtucket, RIRead full review

The Canon Speedlight 540EZ was the top of the line flash for Canon film cameras. Since Canon's digital EOS cameras use E-TTL instead of TTL metering, this flash will not automatically adjust it's power output for proper exposure... for that the EX line of flashes is required. This flash has 2 other modes though, Manual and Multi/Stroboscopic. For any type of "off camera" flash setup however (strobist.com), these flashes work just fine for that... and can be had for about $70+. These flashes make a great addition to any strobist gear list. Note: The flash will make a noise as it recharges it's capacitors, however be sure to inquire if it makes any noise while it is fully charged and on standby. I have one which continues to make noises (which can be annoying) while the other is completely silent.Read full review
