Where u see it dropping bro?
 

SLR selling 589 w/GST, it was reported in another thread here!
 

The 600EX RT can control 5 groups and if we use it with 580EXII on the optical ETTL mode then can use up to 3 or 5 groups?
 

2 versions actually, the other is 600EX without radio transmission feature
 

Yes,just see the 600EX non radio version mentioned on speedlights.net, it will be an upgrade for 580EXII user.
 

can anybody help to clarify 600ex double the flash output power of 580ex basing on the below info :

580ex ii 190' (57.91 m) ISO100 at 105 mm position
600ex rt 197' (60.05 m) ISO100 at 50 mm position

This new flash is very the interesting........ but wonder how much would it cost when in SG???? $800 each????

But normally, you need 2-3 and getting 2-3 is not gonna be cheap....... Wonder if they will have a mid range version in future??? Like 430EX-RT or something..........:sweat:

wah, that will burn a hole in the pocket, i am fortunate that i only need 1
 

U will need at least 2 ,1 master & 1 slave as no bodies including the latest 5Dmk3 or 1DX has radio trigger build in, or get the ST-E3 RT. The min set up would be 1-600EX RT + 1 - ST E3 RT to go into this new flash system.

I know... I should have said my style of shooting with 3 flash off hotshoe... & need to plus the ST-E3RT.... :sweat::sweat:
