Hi,

is it possible to add a device to 580EXII, so it can be RADIO triggered with an ST-E3 or an 600EX?

Thanks,

Ben

no the 580s can only be optically triggered

you can radio trigger them but you need 3rd party triggers such as pocket wizards etc

No, so far, there are no devices to make a 580 EX II compatible with the radio in the ST-E3 or 600EX.  Some third party might do it, but for a business to develop and manufacture a accessory for a out of production item is a invitation to bankrupcy.

So basically it's the Windows of flashes?

Have you got 600's then?

The 580's may be out of manufacturing but they are sill available used.

I am getting a 580EX + flex for about the same cost as a new 430EXII - so there is no incentive for me to migrate to the 600's. Apart from which to replace 8 working 580EX/EXII's doesn't make sense.
