The Canon 580 EX II Speedlite improves upon the design of the renowned Speedlite 580EX. New features include dustproof, water-resistant performance on a par with Canon EOS-1D/1Ds series SLR cameras, the ability to change flash unit settings on the connected EOS camera, and a metal contact area for more reliable conduction. While the illumination and bounce angles are similar to the previous Speedlite 580EX, performance has been improved to better meet professional needs through a shorter and silent recycling, and an external flash metering function.Please Note: This model is now discontinued and a new version is now available: Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT Flashgun.

    The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.

    During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.

    Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
