Try Metz 24 AF-1

I have "better" flashes and the 5D 2 I bought doesn't have flash. I didn't want to be lugging a large flash around so I purchased the Metz 24 AF-1. I use this flash 99% of the time. It will tilt up a for ceiling bounce flash but it won't tilt side to side. After owning the flash for a while, I also bought a third party cord (much cheaper than Canon's) which I will use thus I am able to orient the flash any direction I wish.

Its a great unit for fill flash which is the only way I will use flash.
