T2i compatibility with old Speedlite 188A? Just purchased a T2i and am really excited to use.1) Will my very old Speedlite 188A work with the T2i?2) Is there any advantage to using the old Speedlite compared to the built-in flash?Thanks in advance.

The voltage seems safe. I just got a Canon 188A yesterday, and measured the voltage with a digital voltmeter.It is 4.4 volts, which is perfectly safe. The real question is whether the camera body will talk to the strobe properly and set the exposure correctly. I am still experimenting with that. It seems like the exposure is okay with a Vivitar 28-210mm EOS lens, and too dark with a Canon 28-80mm EOS lens.

what other lighting products work with canon t2i,,,i was checking out cowboy.com and they have numerous kits with transmitters and recievers do any of these work or are there limitations

I had the same question, I found that the flash trigger voltage of my 199A was 5-6V. I also am using the following from Amazon to do off camera flash cheaply.

Now I wish I knew the answer to this, but I don't. I can tell you this much though, I like the working fuctions of the Yongnuo. I believe it is one good product. Now when hooking to the a flash that is on a hot shoe, you might have to be a little creative; I worked at it and figured it out--that was not in the instructions though. Maybe someone else out there can answer your question--Lots of Luck.

I bought this flash for a t2i specifically and works perfectly, the focus assist beam also works as well.

Why wouldn't, if the flash syncs with your hot shoe of your Canon T3i ? Your only extending the technology that exists to any flash that possess TTL.

The Canon User's Manual for your camera says:"Speedlite 600EX-RT/600EX/580EX II/430EXII/320EX/270EX II zz Shoe-mounted flashunit that enables many stylesof flash photography. Speedlite580EX, 430EX, 270EX, and 220EXare also supported." This unit is a copy of the 430 Canon, so it should work just fine..

They didn't work for me either. But that's ok. I'm using a ProMaster brand flash. Oddly, they did work perfectly with Nikon flashes that belong to friends. So, I sent the Cowboy Studio version back and ordered two more of different brands. The Trigmaster and Yongnuo. The TrigMaster didn't work either, but the Yongnuo DID. So I kept that set. I'm happy. It was a headache buying so many knowing I'd have to return them, but Amazon makes it so easy to return that I couldn't afford not to. You can troubleshoot until you turn blue, but either they work or they don't and you'll know instantly. With my setup, Yongnuo was the answer. They didn't work for me either. But that's ok.

I have had substantially better battery life than that with my copy and Eneloop NiMH batteries. However the flash will definitely not work in TTL mode except with a Fuji camera. Slave mode will definitely work fine, and probably manual mode as well.

I would definitely not get this. The light output will be similar to your built-in flash, but without the biggest benefits of having a hot shoe flash, like being able to change the angle of the flash.Save up and get the Canon Speedlite 430EX II. The only reason I got the 90ex is because it is tiny and can be carried in a pocket easily in case the need arises to use on my 5d Mark iii which does not have a built in flash.

Sandro, I purchased this flash for my Canon 70D and I have found no incompatibilities between camera and flash. I love the flash and am very happy with my purchase.

I can respond to you only with the flash models I have tried. It works with the Fuji EF 42 very well but it serves only to sync with the camera, no TTL functionality though. You have to set the aperture manually on the camera corresponding to the Guide number of the flash. This trigger does not work very well with the Canon 430 Ex since the 430 has some problems with radio transmitters. I've successfully used this trigger with the Sony RX 100Mk2 and the Fuji as I have previously mentioned. Would this work with the Yongnuo, it probably will but I'm not sure. Then again Yongnuo has its own dedicated triggers so why would you want to use this set?

Being a Speedlite it will fire on "external flash" mode if set to Auto Exposure. However, as small and convenient the 90EX would not be much of an improvement compared with the built-in flash. Therefore I'd suggest to get at least the Speedlite 270EXII or if more flash light range (with swivel) is needed, then get the 430EXII. Both of these have much faster "cycle" times than the 90EX. Obviously, their price is their main drawback.

I should work with the Canon 3Ti. I have the T1i and it works with mine. I don't think Canon changed that much between the two cameras for it not to work. The all can use the same Canon Flash, and the same lenses, so I would assume that it would also work with the Canon 3Ti.

Hi Brett Yes you can use it with the T2i the only thing I have to advise you it flares like crazy in night photography besides that is great purchse

I don't see why not. I tried in my 7D and 5DMKIII and it worked beautifully. I even tried the master function to control my other Canon Speedlites and it worked flawlessly. I highly recommend it for any EOS camera. However, your T3 already has a built in FLASH which most likely is as powerful as this little flash. On the other hand, this little flash adds the ability to wirelessly control other Canon Speedlites.

This flash is compatible with the Canon T3i, however, unlike the OEM canon flashes, the camera will not control all of the functions of the flash. Some features can be adjusted through the camera, not all can.

It is compatible with ETTL. There's a button right on the ST-E2 that you can select manual or ETTL. The Canon ST-E2 Speedlite Transmitter is a dedicated E-TTL (II) wireless autoflash transmitter that can control an unlimited number of flashes with Canon Speedlites 420EX, 430EX, 430EXII, 550EX, 580EX and 580EX II, in two separate groups; A and B.
