Hi!
Would anyone who owns the 430EX III - RT and EL-5 be willing to post a few photos of how they compare size-wise, please?
I am trying to determine whether to get the EL-5 now or keep waiting for the 430EX III replacement, which seems to be taking forever to materialize.
I use flash only rarely, but would like to have one for some macro work on the R3 and R6 II during an upcoming trip.
Thanks!

The EL-5 is slightly larger (wider, mainly) than the 600EX-RT. Makes sense, they have the same max light output (GN 60), though the recycle time of the EL-5 is blazing fast by comparison. Even the included cold shoe / stand of the EL-5 is bigger. More comparison info from when I first received it here and here.
