Here's the table of flash exposure compensation applied with the EOS1n
when used in 'bright' conditions, defeatable via Custom Function 14.
Its tab-delimited (or at least is was when I posted it!).
Brightness Compensation stops
9 or less 0
10 -0.4

You really need to try it to appreciate how big a lens it really is.
Plus you've got to pay for 77mm diameter filter

In the UK they are usually around 3500 UKP and given US prices usually
equate US$ prices, you've probably found a reasonably priced one. Depends

Just to continue this thread a little - I've now had some shots printed
taken with the 550EX on my EOS1n after last Saturday's ice hockey game.
The first ones were taken under fairly bright conditions and with -1 stop
set on the flash, the fill effect is perfect (so subtle you can hardly
tell). T

Have I made a big mistake in getting a 550EX for use with my EOS1n? The

I'm after a used one at the moment for my sports (mostly ice hockey)
