Need recommendtion for second wireless slave (driven by Canon st-e2)

[dubcat]

Hi, I use an ST-e2 wireless e-ttl transmitter with my 580ex II flash off camera and a reflector for fill.

I would like to buy a second flash which I can use as either a fill light (instead of the reflector) or as a hair light (with a snoot attached). I know I should learn manual flash but for now I would prefer to have a flash with wireless e-ttl support. Can anyone recommend a good value option? I do not want spend any more than I have to.

This is for home use (I.e. Not weddings etc) and i derive no income from my photography hence the preference for something that is good value. I was thinking of something by yongnuo but i read their e-ttl was only active if the flash is in the hotshoe i.e. Not when working as wireless slave. Also, apologies for a repeat thread. I put something similar up in talk equipment but had no replies. Please ignore that thread.

Thanks
Dub

I think the cheaper third party options are Nissin, Sigma and Metz. Probably the Nissin for price, but it doesn't do high speed sync (though you've got the 580 for that I guess).

You can also use E-TTL in manual if you want, and still command the remote guns from the ST-E2.
