Hi all, I couldn't believe it when I read about the problems Canon flashes seem to have with photocell slave triggers. I had just ordered one, but luckily, my second flash is not a Canon ;-)
Then I started collecting all these limitations, bugs, and tricks I had read about over time. This information is hard to find when you need it and even if you follow all the groups and lists, you will probably miss one or another issue. I have put together the results of my collection on the web at: http://www.behrens-home.de/photo/eoslimit.html Have a look if you're interested and let me know if you have any comments or suggestions! br/Stefan. P.S. I use the opportunity to promote my web gallery at http://www.behrens-home.de/photo/galleries/, slightly off topic, but all shots were made with EOS equipment! ;-) Vesa Perala wrote: > > Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2002 20:58:07 +0300 > From: "Vesa Perala" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: slaves triggers for EOS flashes > > >I am trying to find an inexpensive optical slave trigger that can fire a > >550EX in manual mode. > > > >Has anyone used one of these with the 550EX ? > > > >thanks, > >Joe. > > Sorry, no experience on optical slave sensors with 550EX > but I assume it is like other Canon flashes.
