I'm trying to work out which cords I need for shutter release and off shoe flash, but I can't find what i'm after. The closest I can find is a litte 2 foot flash cord (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=12972&is=REG) at B&H, but i'd rather have a long one. I can't find a shutter release cord at all.

Would anyone be kind enough to give me links to them at B&H, or tell me how to find them myself?

TIA

Yup, that 2 foot cord is the right one. It's the only cord available that preserves full-ETTL functionality. None of Canon's other cords support ETTL. Kinda of a bummer. It's obvious that Canon wants people to spend the big bucks and buy the ST-E2.

The shutter release cord is called the RS-60E3 Remote Switch (http://photonotes.org/articles/eos-flash/#distancedata).

The off shoe cord two is your only option. its better if you want both to go wireless and get a pocket wizard.

Thanks Slin.

The off shoe cord two is your only option. its better if you want both to go wireless and get a pocket wizard.

That's pretty expensive though, isn't it? The cords are relatively cheap, the radio ones are like $150 minimum right?
