I am the god of all things three-legged. That would include tripods, milking stools, grand pianos, and Gitzo, the three-legged donkey.

There's no E-TTL or TTL available. This means you have to set the flash each time you take a picture. John

I wanted more flashes for off camera use, and I also wanted them more powerful. I'm mostly triggering them with Skyports and metering them with the L-358, so I keep everything in manual Stefan

I just thought I'd mention it anyway. I still have a 540EZ which I'm keeping because I still have an EOS 1 film body. I haven's shot any film since I bought my D60 back in 2002 (and I've got a 40D on order) but you never know... John
