If i have 2 550Ex, do I need a transmitter & receiver or will the 550ex master and slave act as a wireless transmitter and receiver?
So, do I need a st-e2 or radiopoppers or pocket wizards if I have these two flashes?

The only caveat is that one has to be on camera at all times to act as Master, and the Slave must be able to see the light from the Master in order to fire. 1D Mk III | 450D Gripped | Σ 30 f/1.4 | 85 f/1.8 | 18-55 IS

So if having one flash on-camera and line-of-sight aren't issues for you, you are good to go! Not necessarily... you can buy long ETTL cables and move the master off-camera as well: I use manual exposure settings on the copy machine

I'd suggest lurking in the Small Flash and Studio Lighting section some. I think you will find plenty of options there. One of the most recommended is the YN-622C I use manual exposure settings on the copy machine
