Mr. Pangalan, thanks for your answer.

...if only I would have known it before... my 580 EX"I" is almost gone, it is sold at 90% I tought that the second series would have been improved, concerning the exposure problems. My 580EX I normaly does not expose at the best. it goes slightly under almost always, and after have sent it in repair twice (both of the times they said that everything is fine, my 580EX is perfect, and that the first series never exposes at the best, problem corrected with the second series) i decided to sell it.

do you have any kind of problem using it in E-TTLII ?

thanks!

regards

Rob

Hi to all!

newbie in this forum...

I write from Italy.

if it is possible, I've just a question.

Does anybody know if the 580EX-II is compatible with the CP-E3? I'm selling my 580EX and maybe during next week I'll buy a 580EX-II (surely improved concerning exposures...)

I own a CP-E3 right now, and I've to say that putting 8 cells inside it + 4 cells (of the same model - 3500 mAh each, bought on ebay) inside the 580EX, I normally obtain a recharging time under 1 sec. (max power, in "M" 1/1, trying to chronometrate it I've read some 0,8 secs)

it could be considered a "perfect solution" for my work...

I'd avoid to replace the CP-E3 ...if it is possible!

lookin to their socket... their appear to be exactly the same, and in more than a site I've seen the new CP-E4 advertised as 580EX, 430EX and 580EX II compatible... if it is true, I think that the CP-E3 will work without problems (or at least I hope!)

does anybody know anythin about this issue?

thanks!

regards

Rob.
