I'm branching out with my photography, and going to really start playing with off camera flashes. I'm considering purchasing either 2 Pocket Wizard Plus II's, or a TT1 and TT5. I use 5D2 and own a 580 II and 430. So I guess my question would be which would be the better way to go?

Your suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

Take a look at the other less expensive systems too...yongnuo rf 602, or cactus V. I just ordered 5 cactus Vs to start.


5DII. 50L. 24-70LII. 16-35LII. 70-200is2.8II. 100L 135L.

The TTL ability of the PW's is nice, but at a cost. Add the AC3 for flash adjustment from above the tt1.

If you just want off-cam manual triggering ability, go for Yongnuo's

Thank you for the information. I do want to maintain TTL, so that may limit my choices.
