: Does anyone have any suggestions as to a good replacement

: am looking for pretty much the same type of equipment.
: Any help would be apreciated!
: Thanks, Ron

Dear Ron:
Yes I know the feeling. I did have a teenager son.
(Now is a young adult, although with the same cassual approach to
equipment, as if it were disposable).
I wopuld suggest to get another Canon dedicated flash. Take a
look at:

I had a couple of Vivitar flashes I used as slave units and they
simply vanished from earth as if swallowed by a black hole.
In due time one must remember that kids are more precious than
tools, although I must recognize it is difficult at times.
Have a great time.
