Where to buy YN-560
The YN-560 is available on eBay now in small quantities, although not from the manufacturer store “hkyongnuophotoequipment” yet but only from other eBay sellers. See the YN-560 offers on eBay. As this model is still available in small quantities so far, I’d recommend you check back with the seller that it is in stock and not back-order.
