I'm trying to put together a budget wireless flash setup with two Sigma 500's and a 430EX which I currently own. Plan to use a remote transmitter to trigger all 3 flash units, but I am not certain wether or not the 20D's flash compensation will still be functional. Any suggestions?

I can't answer your question with certainty regarding FEC on the camera but would think it should be functional as far as Canon's E-TTL master/slave system.

Are you planning to trigger all three with the ST-E2? Has anyone confirmed that it will work with the Sigma units? I would be concerned about that.

You're more likely to get a good answer to this if you ask a mod to move it to the flash section of the forum.

Several threads on FM have confirmed inter-operability of Canon and Sigma wireless flash systems.
