Lots of computers have transformers that can switch between 110v - 220v, i just helped a friend going back to Germany about this. The only difference is a simple power supply, and I think a lot of power supplies can operate in two voltages. But a company might not like this since you can effectively control the market (and selling price) buy limiting the area to be used (much like DVD's).
As far as I remember, 550ex has a digital scale that showed both meters and feet. Sigma Super 500 has both at the same time - for me it is easier to think in terms of meters... > -----Original Message----- > From: Bob Turner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 12:29 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: EOS 550EX flash USA version > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Bob Sull" > <<If your friend is going to be in New York he/she can buy an > imported 550EX > form B&H.
