Whether wired, or with remote triggers and AB strobes I can't shoot faster than 1/160 second. Ditto for my friend's setup.
Anybody getting the published sync speed of 1/200?

I can get sync speeds with onboard flash and on-shoe Speedlites though. Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here

I think for strobes it's 1/125. I never shoot over 1/125 with strobes anyway.

::John:: Cream of the Crop More info | Sep 09, 2007 02:45 | #11 Doesn't matter whether I am using my cheap eBay triggers or a sync cable - the best I can get on my 5D without seeing the shutter in the shot is 1/160" I am the proud owner of the Peleng 8mm Fisheye lens

I had previously been using a 20D and using the same light setup at 1/250 shutter speed with no shutter in the shot. I then set the 5D at 1/200 (the rated sync speed) and was now getting the shutter in the shot (just a bit) so I backed it off to 1/160 and that seemed to get rid of the shutter image. Then I tried my 580 EX at 1/200. The shutter was now NOT in the frame. Why is the shutter in the frame with studio lights but not with on camera flash?? I was using Elinchrom lights with an Elinchrom wireless trigger. 5D | 20D | 24-70 f/2.8 | 70-200 f/2.8 | Sigma 12-24 f/4.5-5.6 | 580 EX | 580 EX II | EF 2x II
