alanpare Hatchling 2 posts Joined Sep 2005 More info | May 02, 2010 16:28 | #1 Should I not be able to control a 430EX (not the II) model as well with a 580EX II as with a 580EX? I bought a "gently used, 100% functional" 580EX II on eBay (first mistake, I guess). I cannot get it to trigger my 430 as slave. I borrowed a 580EX (old style), and it has no problems. I've experimented with all the settings, channels match, 580 II is in Master, etc., etc., but no dice. So, just making sure that old 430 and new 580 models should play together nicely. Thanks.

I did not read anything about such a disharmony between them.

The 580EX II should work just like the 580EX in master mode so if the 580EX is working fine as the master to the 430EX, the 580EX II should, too. If it's not and you are very sure that it's in master mode (setting the 580EX II to master is different from how the 580EX is set to master), then there's probably something the matter with the 580EX II. ...Leo

Be sure they are set to the same channel. Be sure your 580exII is set to master... "All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my right hand!" Steven Wright

May 03, 2010 19:38 | #6 I am interested in this thread because I started with a 430 EX (not II) and just bought a 580 EX II and am planning to commit the 430 to slave mode. It sounds like this combination should be a decent setup - please correct me if I am wrong. Click here to see a list of My Stuff
