PC Sync Lead for Canon 580 EX II

[Freester]

Hi there,

I recently got a Canon 580 EX II. I already have a PC sync hotshoe adaptor for my 400D (I used this with the studio light setup at college) and was looking at the absolute cheapest way of getting my flash off camera then I guessed it would be using a PC sync cord and shooting manually?

After a quick search on Google and here I think I need a Male - Male PC sync cord but they are almost as rare as Rocking Horse poo!

Is this the correct cable?

Thanks

I bought one of these recently from this seller:

Not much more than the product you are looking at. I think it's great, lots more flexibility.

Ooh thanks I didn't realise there were OEM OC-E3 cables. They are about 40-50 UKP for the Canon one right?

Yep, best part of 50 I think.
Amazon have some copies too:

A bit dearer again but probably slightly quicker delivery, although mine took just over a week from China IIR.
