OK, I did test whether or not an ST-E2 can affect a light meter. My
conclusion is, yes, it does.
I measure the GN of an ST-E2 at approximately 3.2 (feet) at ISO 100, over a
range of 0 to 9 feet. The light meter does not respond to ST-E2 IR signals
beyond about 9 feet.
My light meter is a Minol
:-)
I am not upset or anything. I was reading photo.net and got a little
irritated, admittedly because there are people who would never ever touch a
third party equipment. I know Chiip does not like them either. But if I
misunderstood him, I apologize.
Peace,

Hi all,
Has anybody first hand experience in using third party hoods for the
70-200/2.8L?
Are they comparable to the original one?
Where are the differences?

Well, I spoke with someone at Canon Professional Services and they did not
think this would be a problem.
However, they suggested putting a piece of gaffer/electrical tape between
the contacts and the shoe to be safe.

Like a month ago I saw a website with pictures of what was left of the
EOS equipment that William Biggart used before he died in the WTC
attacks. Also, MSNBC or some other similar had a portfolio of the last
pictures he took. Can anyone remember the addresses?
Thanks in advance.

Yes there's one. You can mount it in a standard 1/4
Yes. Allows the plastic shoe-mount stand that comes with the 550EX to be
connected to any standard tripod or to a light stand with a 1/4" screw

Lars, standard Canon issue, orderable via B&H. I believe the remote shutter
release is compatible with the EOS3, D30, and a few other Canon cameras.
The remote shutter release plugs into the side of my D30, into the remote
shutter release connection point. It's nothing fancy, and over priced, b

I hadn't ever thought about the Minolta flash meter being fooled by the
ST-E2 (mounted on-camera) infrared signals. But since an optical slave

And the interesting part was that ST-E2 triggers the flashes
even if it is OFF-camera.
Two questions:

Have you measured how much lower the output from ST-E2 alone

550EX flash units definitely can be used off-camera, set up as a 'slave,'
set in 'Manual,' and triggered by an ST-E2. It's all in the instructions.
I often shoot 'Manual' flash with my D30, ST-E2, 550EX, and a Sunpack 622.
I measure with a Minolta V.
ST-E2 is mounted on-camera.
