Digital camera reviews of Canon ST-E2 Speedlite Transmitter for Canon 580EX II, 430EX, 430EX II Speedlites
Digital camera Review: A great little product, but...
Summary: 5 Stars
While this item performs flawlessly, I will agree with those who say it would be an even better value if it were radio-controlled instead of having the 'line of sight' requirement.
I have been fortunate to find a rechargeable battery and charger for the 2cr5 power source it requires at [...], which was at a resaonable price too. Why pay $[...]a battery when you can get a rechargeable version for $[...] which will last you much much longer and save you lots of money.
This item is a MUST if you own one or more of Canon's speedlights, be they the 430EX, 430EX-II, 550EX, 580EX or the 580EX-II. This tramsmitter attachment will control them ALL... at once if you so choose. Very handy gadget which has performed perfectly in every test I have thrown at it thus far.
My only suggestion to the manufacturers, would be for them to re-release this item with the new quick-lock feature found on the 580EX-II Speedlite flash. :)~
I tried it out with Gary Fong's flash diffusers and it was amazing how much they enhanced my portraitures using the ST-E2. I am really really glad I got this item.

Summary of Canon ST-E2 Speedlite Transmitter for Canon 580EX II, 430EX, 430EX II Speedlites
RE) ST-E2 SPEEDLITE TRANSMITTERThe Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 is compatible with Type A EOS cameras (E-TTL, auto flash) and Type B EOS cameras (manual flash). The ST-E2 is designed to control slaved Canon 550 EX flashes, enabling simultaneous flash use in professional settings. The wireless controller has a flash ratio control, allowing for several different A:B ratios, 1:8 to 8:1 in half-step increments, as well as slave confirmation via a test transmission button, which sets off slave A, followed by slave B, at 1/64 output.
