I currently use this on my canon film cameras with 540ez flash - will it also work with the 20D and 550ex? Or do I need to buy the ST-E2 Transmittor? Everywhere I have looked for info on this, it doesn't say it CAN'T work with digital, but it doesn't say it DOES either. --------------------------- Your Buddy Holly |

Thanks Ben! Someone mentioned this before but I am also wondering if a question exists that would not find it's answer here. Maybe something like - "if you were shipping a Canon ST-E2 transmittor to Kuwait and used the box that the 70-200/4.0L lens came in, but the packing that came with the 20D - and you were close personal friends with John Travolta who would fly you over there around midnight the day you shipped it - would you beat the package to Kuwait and if you did, what online company would have the best price on bullet proof vests?" :) --------------------------- Your Buddy Holly |

why wouldnt the off shoe camera cord work? you are basically just extending the connection that is on your camera. --------------------------- Matt Chow Dubspeed Media Group Specializing in Automotive and Motorsports Photography http://www.dubspeeddriven.com |

Well, I was told that the 540ez flash wouldn't work with a digital camera, or at least the E-TTL so I guess that's why I was wondering. But you're right - "All EOS bodies" should mean digital or film. --------------------------- Your Buddy Holly |

You were told correct... The 540EZ flash was designed before the evolution of Canon's current digital cameras. The 540EZ flashes automatic mode is what Canon called A-TTL. Mounting a 540EZ on a digital canon will resort to the minimum (smallest) aperture or the maximum flash sync speed while the camera is in a programmed mode (AV, TV, P). The Digital camera's were only designed to work with the EX series of flashes. The off-camera cord has nothing to do with it. Frank |
