Woohoo!!! What a sweet strobe!! Been "playing" with it for about an hour. It makes my 420EX look like a toy! My question is can I use my 420EX speedlite as a slave and my (brand spankin' new) 580EXII speedlite as a master? I couldn't really get it to work in my brief attempts. I guess if it's not possible I'll just have to go out and get one or two more 580s. Oh well.

I have had the Blue Crane Digital Canon Speedlite 580EX DVD for several months now in anticipation of someday owning a 580EX. I just viewed it for the first time. That is one powerful tool. I had no idea a flash could be so manipulated. Well, I gotta go shoot some stuff! Canon EOS 40D || 10-22mm EF-S || 24-70mm f/2.8L ||70-200mm f/2.8L IS || 50mm f/1.8 II || 60mm f/2.8 Macro EF-S
