works, but has its pros and cons

Does not work well in bright sun, but indoors, and when dark, the IR does well. I shoot weddings and local shows, and lighting is always changing, the Ettl is a must, and is also great as a auto-focus assist (really great in low light).

Very handy tool

I purchased this little item to aid in taking pictures at my first wedding. It worked nicely in a large worship center using both the 550ex and 430ex Speedlites and a 30D. I still haven't used it to its fullest but continue to learn. I'll add more to this in the future but just wanted to comment...

Battery-less in ATL

this is probably a great item and there are plenty of reviews to provide that info. I just wanted to make it clear for others that the battery is NOT included. I have had a 380EX and now I have a 580EX. They did not come with batteries, but they take AA. All my cameras and other gear with...

Off Camera Flash

I am very happy that I decided to invest in this Transmitter. I had read for some time that many photographers follow a rule never to use a camera mounted flash. I don't subscribe 100% to that rule, but when I want to use an off camera flash, or multiple flash units this is a dream come true. I...

BATTERY NOT INCLUDED

My STE-2 Speedlite Transmitter arrived from Amazon yesterday. I was surprised there wasn't a battery in the box. Especially considering that Amazon doesn't try to sell a battery with the transmitter anywhere on the page. And also considering that you have to click on the "More Technical...

When it works, it works great - It'll do.

It's not a Pocket Wizard, but for what it's intended for it'll do fine. The more I shoot, the more I shoot full manual - Radio Poppers and PW's are the way to go there. Sometimes though, when we have people over, I will set up 2 580EX's pointed at the ceiling and use the ST-E2 to capture group...

Convenient alternative to RF (with caveats)

I can't complain about this unit. It costs far less than an RF solution like the PocketWizard, preserves E-TTL flash metering, and adds as little gear to my camera bag as possible, at least compared to lugging, charging, and connecting RF transceivers.Of course it doesn't have the range of RF,...

Great item

I am quite pleased with Canon STE2 transmitter, it works with the speedlites series and also I've tried it with Photoflex and Visatec flashes and it did a great job.

Introduced in 1998 and is still a current product in the lineup

This is an unchanged 10 year old antique. The ST-E2 ONLY controls groups A and B slaves. So, another wireless method for the group C slave(s) to fire would be to have them attached to slave hot shoe(s) and hope that no one else uses flash near the slave(s). A better solution is to set another...
