Speedlite 580EX Slave w/o Master
Now that I have my Speedlite 580EX, I'm trying to figure out how to use it. Theres a lot to it, of course. The manual appears to have been written by Leo Tolstoy. The thing that I'd like to do is use the Speedlite 580EX as a slave without a master. Or, more accurately, to make the EOS 20D frame the master, and trigger the Speedlite 580EX as a wireless slave. Unfortunately, you can't. Or, more accurately, you can't do it without buying another little gizmo called the Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2, which runs about $180. I also apparently need to order an "Off-Camera Shoe Cord 2" to make this thing function correctly with the stroboscopic L bracket.
