Mark,


Hi. You're definitely given me food for thought. Assuming the following prices:


PWs : $200 (each model)


ST-E2: $200


580EX II : $350


(the prices are in the right ballpark; don't hassle me if they are not accurate to the penny!)


Let's assume that I want two trigger two remove flashes (and let's assume that I own both flashes). If I go PW, then it'd cost $400 more to get the PW gear (ST-E2: $200, 3x PWs: $600). In fact, for the extra money, I'd be able to get a third 580EX II (i.e., three flashes and a trigger) and have another $50 left. Alternatively, I could get a third 580 EX II instead of the ST-E2, save $250 over the PW gear and have three flashes, and use one as the master (BTW, does the ST-E2 have any extra features compared to the 580 EX II as being used as a master?).


Hmmm.... you were right about the cost. []
