I've had my 6D for a couple months now, and although I rarely break out the flash, I've found that when I do I prefer off-camera lighting. I took a little look around kijiji online classifieds and found the ST-E2 transmitter in another city. The guy also had a 420EX, both in great shape. Got them for $130, and it turned out he lived right near a cousin of mine who tested and bought it for me. It seems like the perfect 'budget' setup for off-camera flash. Was pretty excited to so easily find it at such a good price (the transmitter seems to go for $200-300 retail).
I did a simple test and both work very easily and automatically.
If you have any recommendations, warnings or tips for their use based on your experience, fire away! I've promised myself I am going to invest some time experimenting with more flash photography.
