    600EX plus 580EX MArk 1 Compatibility

    I have a 5D Mark 2 and a 580EX Mark 1. I'm currently on holiday in Australia and find that I can get a 600EX into the UK for just over £300, which is a lot cheaper than the UK price.

    If I buy the 600EX will it be possible to use it with the existing kit in a two flash master/slave TTL setup? Would it matter which was the master?

    My 600EX-RT manual lists the 580EX and 580EX II as compatible wireless slaves, so you should be ok.
    It will be optical and not radio, that's the restriction I believe.
