Hi to all,
I just purchased a new 580EXII flashgun to go on my new 5DII camera but also have a 540EZ flashgun from the old days of film which I would love to use as an off camera secondary flashgun. Any idea if there is anything I can purchase that will help me trigger the 540EZ with the 580EXII mounted on my camera?

Cheap option, Cactus triggers via eBay. I use them for my 430EZ, 430EX or 580EX II. Work a treat. Sadly you wont be able to trigger the 430EZ via the 580EX II

i just got one of these (external link) and it works on said flash but not on the newer canon models. I have a 5D and 580EXII triggered via ebay flash also.
