Thanks for good ideas, Bill Below are some comments: >more cost effective solution than to purchase an ST-E2. ST-E2s are >expensive. You're also dependent on your lithium-ion battery working in >the >ST-E2, and those batteries are also expensive.
What's the expected number of shots with one battery in ST-E2? >Another option is to attach your flash meter to an old tripod, and then set >up the tripod to measure at whatever point is important to you. I have used monopod so that I attach the flash meter in one end of it with a rubber band and then hold it vertically so that the flash meter is where I want it to be. Gives me about 1.5 meters (5 feet) more reach. But I don't know if the reflections from the monopod effect the measurements sometimes. Using a tripod was not possible in that case. >I also believe it's possible to take multiple exposures with a film camera Great idea, have to remember this one! Instead of wired remote trigger for the camera (I have about 20 meters, 67 feet, selfmade extension) I could also use the 10 second selftimer. In total darkness and in water using wires is not that nice and easy. But I believe I will in any case get the ST-E2 for me for other uses so I could use it as a flash remote controller in addition to the normal use. >Best regards, > >Bill Neukranz Vesa _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
