I have the 430. The other night, I borrowed a friends 550EX and put it on my camera, set the 430 on 'slave' and fired my camera off with the 550. There was a half second delay before my 430 fired. What is up with that? Did you press the 'test' button on the 550 or actually fire the camera? "I think the idea of art kills creativity" - Douglas Adams
