As at about 11:30 - AUD 0.71123 from www.xe.com/![]()

You are a mile away and they have no shoes.

I just realised I could have made some money fudging around with my Paypal balance when the dollar plunged. If I'd converted to US$ beforehand I could have almost doubled my balance. Maybe I can catch it on the flipside? Dan

It wouldnt' be too hard, just tap into the centre contact on the wire. I know the receiver can though there's a PC socket on the front.sorry meant reciever.. 5Dc | 24LII/45 TS/50L/85 Sigma

More info | davo_robbo wrote in post #6489761 on the note of wireless transmitters.. is it possible to hardwire a sync cord into a cactus trigger? (where the wires go from the board to the hotshoe) either that or mod a port into them instead of spending $25 on a shoe-sync port for 3 of them Which ones have you got that don't have a PC port on them? All the versions I've owned have had PC ports... photobitz wrote in post #6490022 What about getting an ST-E2? Although the dollar being down doesn't make it seem worthwhile. Maybe a used one? ST-E2 = no manual controls... pain in the butt when you want to get into fancy flash work. Changing ratios still doesn't help much when the camera's got no idea as to what look you're actually going for... I wish they'd bring out an ST-E3 which allowed manual control. Oh, and A:B C like the 580 does rather than just A:B. Gear Listhttp://www.codastudios.com.au
