You'd probably get the same reaction walking into a bar with a bright pink shirt and dayglow green tie on... (depends on the bar tho' )


I also use the Canon 'Off Camera Shoe Cord 2', although it could do with a slightly longer cord sometimes.

There was talk of disabling the ability to use colored fonts. Some think its cute, I think its a nuisance. Here is a mod you may like to try on your cord: Off-Shoe Cord 2 Modification - Canon Digital Photography Forums

[ All in plain black text ] Thanks for that, I may do something similar as I do find it a bit short sometimes, having to stretch it a fair bit.
Of course i could just get a 580EX and a wireless trigger unit...

Just be careful not to pull too hard on the ends. I've heard stories of the wire pulling from each each of the ends. You can pre soften the coils by stretching just the wire out a bit to loosen the tension on the ends.

Oh, thanks for that - I've never thought about the ends coming out of the hotshoe & plug.

I do tend to stretch the coil out though, it's not that often that I've needed to stretch it too much, it's more the case of the coil is a bit 'stiff'.

that's exactly what I meant.

You used some really pretty font colors. Is my non-posting message off yet?
