The E-TTL Off-Camera Flash Extension Cord is an extremely useful accessory for Canon EOS series digital & 35mm film SLR cameras, allowing an external flash to be used away from the camera. The flash can be located as far as 3 feet away from the camera and still perform all the automatic functions possible with flash photography.
Using an off-camera flash provides the photographer with the flexibility to direct light from a variety of angles, allowing simple but effective fill lighting for balancing outdoor shots or hiding shadows under harsh indoor lights. An off-camera flash is also an effective primary light source when less direct lighting is desired.
Half the price and works greatOctober 13, 2008 I am using this adapter with an Olympus E-500 and the Olympus FL-36 flash. The cable works (TTL and all ) and costs less then half of the price of the Olympus cable.
If I need another cable I would buy it again!
One star more then it is worthMarch 10, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Recieved one of these as part of a kit. My canon 20d didn't even see a flash attached [430ex and 580exII] My 5d was able to fire the flashes but only in manual mode. Both worked perfectly when mounted directly to the camera, and when I went out and bought the Canon product they worked with it. I'm not sure what camera it works with, but obviously not these. Also very flimsy build, I was scared it would break off when the 580, which is heavy, was mounted. E-mailed Adorama twice, asking for a working replacement, with no reply, finally sent it back. I did get a refund from the company but no reply ever to my inqueries. THe e-mail anouncing the refund said "please e-mail us if we can help you in the future" - too bad they don't seem to be able to do that.
Good ProductFebruary 15, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is my second purchase of this product. This item works as it should and is a good vale for the money. The only drawback is in it's construction. The neck of the Flash connection end is vulnerable. I used rubber washers to sure it up.
Works great!November 19, 2007 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
I use mine all the time and I never have any problems. I was hesitant to purchase at first because of the reviews I read, but I'm glad I followed through with the purchase.
Don't Buy ItSeptember 22, 2007 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
The cable simply did not work in the ETTL Mode as advertised. I have a Canon XTi Rebel Digital with a 430ex speedlite. Spend the extra $$$ and buy the Canon cable.
