Have not had much time to play with these yet but lets just say my confidence is high and I have a feeling my work is about to hit a new level of creativity this year.
CANT WAIT!

Issues currently at 1/350-1/500 ss. Sync fix for this yet? Easy enough to stay out of that range but still need to get it dialed in. Will play with it more when we get back to town.
They have issues, man. Radio interference with 580 EXII which limits the range.
We have no issues with Distance at all at this point. Will be officially testing them shortly with the 580ex and 580ex II
I love these things, but I have range issues too. Have not tried them in a hall yet, but in my home, with both antennas up, when I go into the next room, the slave unit doesn’t fire. With the Plus & Plus IIs, I was out on a parking lot of a reception hall about 50ft away from the hall and when I pushed the button I could see the lights going off inside. I’m kinda sorta afraid to use them at a wedding right now. I’ll be doing a church event this coming friday, I’ll take my chances there.
Used them at a Wedding down in Mexico City this weekend for the first time. Im still 80% happy. Range issue is the only thing that gets me really. Love the build quality and ease of use. Worked flawlessly outside in the 20-30ft range. Anymore than that and it was hit or miss much like the 5-10ft range of an ST-e2 outside on the beach. So…..
This range issue really bothers me and it doesn’t seem like something that can be fixed by firmware updates.
