Hello, im new on this forum, i recently decided to buy the 70-200mm and i need to know if this is a good combo with the blitz, i need some opinions about it. I also have the canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM and the EF-S 18-55mm f/4.

What are you using this lens for. Canon’s 70-200mm lenses are excellent lenses. The 430EX II cannot cover the entire zoom range of that lens. It covers up to 105mm only.

That lens would be too long for that type of work especially on APS-C.
