either use 580 on hotshoe control 430 somewhere else... or use wireless IR to control both away from camera... or use a cord to ensure the 580 is away off camera...

It can control a lot more than 2 flashes. I've tried 12 in 2 groups and played with ratio. Works great.

In my opinion, the ST-E2 is a great equipment given too little attention.

No need. ST-E2 will trigger all flashed in group A as well in Group B. All at the same time.

ST-E2 can control any number of flashes in two group. a 550/580EX mounted on hotshoe acting as a master can control up to three groups.

correct, but my flash C is out of the line of sight... so that's why i am asking whether A can trigger B and B can trigger C.

Shoot me for asking this.

Is there a wireless trigger for the Canon flash + camera?

Off shoe cord is still irritating.

but to trigger the camera, I don't think the ST-E2 is capable of that!
