Once you think you want modifiers, take a lot at threads for the Qbox 24, Photek Softlighter II and Apollo Orb.

I would use a male to male cord. Would this provide me with all the ETTL functionality of the Flash Zebra hot shoe cords? No. PC cord is a simple trigger. No ETTL. No HSS. No FEC. For Sale: 1D, T1i, 800mm, 600mm

Or Canon ST-E2, or another Canon speedlite to do Master/Slave, or Yongnuo ST-E2, or PW Flex/Mini, or RadioPoppers, or Pixel Kings... lots more... all have their trade-offs.

Well, my 580 will do Master but I want both off camera. I may go PW later in life but today I'm a cable guy. A9 | 25 | 55 | 85 | 90 | 135

Anyways, I just ordered a FZ 24 footer. I'll be taking well lit, poorly composed pictures in no time. Thanks again! A9 | 25 | 55 | 85 | 90 | 135
