Canon shooter here.
Right now, I have a 430EX II that I operate off-camera using the Yongnuo 622-TX master on the camera and a YN622C remote unit coupled to the flash. It has worked very well for me.
But now, I want to get a 2nd flash to expand my lighting by using key and fill lights, etc. The question is - should I just get a second 430EX II and a 2nd YN622C and basically just expand my 622 based setup?
Or should I get one of the newer RT flashes like the 430 EX III-RT and a RT transmitter? Are there any benefits for going this way? It is going to be much more expensive than just expanding my current setup and for an amateur, I don't know if it is worth it, but I figured I'd ask. The disadvantage for staying with the 622-based system is risk of being marooned on a potentially obsolete ecosystem but I don't know if that is something that's even true, let alone be worried obout.
Thanks for any advice.
Also, I guess an follow-on question is:
Can the YN622-TX master on the camera control the newer flashes like the 430EX III RT directly? Or does each flash still need to be coupled with a YN622C transceiver?
