Recommend slave flash for Canon Speedlite 580EXII
As above.
I want to use Canon Speedlite 580 EXII to trigger slave flashes. Can anyone recommend an alternative beside getting another expensive Canon Speedlite 580 EXII? Thanks in advance.

Re: Recommend slave flash for Canon Speedlite 580EXII
Can I trigger these flashes wirelessly, example the slaves triggerred after my que from my camera with 580EXII attached?
I know nuts about 3rd party flashes. Could you recommend some popular brands and roughly how much? Thanks.

Re: Recommend slave flash for Canon Speedlite 580EXII
The simplest way to trigger 3rd party flash is to get those with optical slave built-in.
Nikon SB-80 DX is a good model to start; these are hot items in ebay. You can get used ones for approx $250 or up. There's an MO on Nissin flashes too, I would love to review them.  BTW, how much have you budget for these?
