BTW

I bought my 550's for $150 each and have 580exii

I fire ETTL plus EC in front of the subjects and Manual behind the subjects and for rim lighting using radio triggers

It is not only faster because ETTL gets you closer out of the shoot then you can EC it, but as Canon updates the cameras they keep the 550's in play.

Canon though messes with 3rd party lenses and flashes as they update bodies -- so it is firmware or rechipping that needs to occur.

Been there, done that -- not pretty.

That is why sigma is moving to the docking usb for their new 35  -- because the past has been painful
