Would it be a decent flash to use as an on camera ETTL flash for portraits on my 5D2 and possibly master/HSS? Experience/reviews? I can buy a pristine 430ex for around $50. Thanks in advance!

It cannot be used as a master.

The use of mine has been strictly straight - no master, no HSS. In that role it has been stellar - I also picked up mine secondhand and it has been great.

I have four 430EX's which I use all the time as slaves and very occasionally on camera, brilliant little flashes but as said, can't be used as a master.

Not sure if Paul means it doesn't do High Speed Sync - he might well mean he just hasn't used it. But it does.

You can download a manual here:

HSS is on page 16

Just buy it

Yeah, sorry - I haven't used my 430EX for any HSS yet. Great flash.
