    Just want to tell you who has Canon 550EX or 580EX that the speedlights can be attached to the EP1 without any modification in manual mode, wireless flash also works :) 
    Was thinking to sell off some of my 550EX ( I got 4 ) and now I am saving them :)

    CK......you are shooting these in manual mode, I assume. What do you mean wireless works as well? Are you slaving off of the 580EX?

    I have a bunch of Canon flashes and never thought to try them. :redface:

    Yep it works... looks stupid ;)  but works fine.... I have been shooting mostly in home studio with a pair or 580-IIs and Pocketwizard...

    I have been triggering two 580EXIIs with an ST-E2 controller from my E-P1 (in manual mode) for a while now, with good results. I do tape the extra contract terminals on the ST-E2, however. Would you say I can stop using the tape without damaging the camera or the controller?

    Regards,

    Antonio

    Yep, don't need to tape the extra contact and thats what I did :) 
    Was search on line to see what those contacts spec. but I just try it without tapping them and they all work out good.
    I try all 5 of mines :)  4x 550ex and 1 580ex.

    I know wireless is the way to go (according to the pro's), but I never had problems with my ST-E2. I am digging that baby out of my bag today. :yahoo:
