Hi Gerard, My 420EX, 550EX exhibit SCR lock up. And, of course, this function is already built into the Sigma/Vivitar units, so they do not lock up. I still keep an old 430EZ that does not lock up with an optical slave trigger. If I was starting over, I should have bought a Sunpak 383 Super instead (tilt/swivel, 3 autoexposure modes, 5 manual power levels) Cheers Julian Loke P.S. Why did you get the ST-E2? It is limited (A:B, auto only) in mastering potential compared to a 550EX (A:B:C, auto, manual, multi). Even a Sigma EF 500 Super would have been a better choice. The clincher for me was the 2CR5 battery requirement. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
