Anyone got any comments or suggestions on wireless E-TTL? I've had
fairly mixed results using two 550EXs. Even indoors, the slave unit has to
be at a fairly obtuse angle to trigger successfully.

I was considering getting the SP-E2 transmitter, but wondered if there
were any third party options?

Hi James,

Do you mean the ST-E2?  I have it and use it with 2 550EX with good results.
If you are outdoors unless there are walls or a fence surrounding you to
bounce the triggering light to get to the master (or ST-E2) it will not
always work. You need to rotate the flashes to ensure the master & slave
lights will see each other.
Typically I place the 550EXs to the side and forward of the ST-E2 mounted on
my camera.  I also use the Off Camera Shoe Cord to move the ST-E2 up above
the camera and a back a bit to help that.  Indoors since there are walls
around you the master & slave trigger 99% of the time.
