Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2

Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2

Strengths: Works very good inside a building the flash could be pointing in any direction and the unit still received the signal from and to the flash unit.

Weakness: Outside it was not as good at catching the signal to and from the unit if the area was an open field and the flash was positioned be hide the transmitter and angled away.

The manual could have been better and had examples on settings. I am not a professional so I find it harder to get full use of all the functionality the unit has.

ST-E2

Strengths: It makes life easier when using multiple flashes.

Weakness: Getting use to the functions.

This is great for outdoor portraits when needing a little more light on a subject. I just need to familiarize myself with using it a bit more. I highly recommend getting one of these for all Canon users.

Gets the flash off the camera!

Just purchased a EOS 5D III and need to control my speedlite wirelessly. This does the trick. Great for interior real estate photography. The only negative is that it works on line of sight only, but it's much less expensive than going to Pocket Wizards.

Canon ST-E2

Strengths: Canon name ....canon quality

Weakness: only weakness is the price, but you know what they say ....you get what you pay for!

For natural multiple flash shots, this is a must!
Not cheap, but worth every dime.
It's simple to use giving control (including power ratio) of multiple flash from a single source
