I've got to agree with Tim here. We have an Eos D30 and the only way to get
neutral results under flash is by doing a custom white balance, (even though
the D30 has a flash setting as one of its white balance options). Even then
we sometimes have to swap flash heads around (all Broncolor) as different
heads give different colours as tubes age and reflectors dis-colour etc.
This isn't the fault of the Canon as it also happens when using the Sinar
23's.
