Jun 27, 2008 15:04 | #1 I'm looking to buy these suckers but can't seem to find the quantity of those per order. They are running around $188 @ Adorama. Is it $188 for 1 or 2 units? 5D Mark III | 135L | 24-70L | 580EXII | Flickr | Instagram

If you cannot trigger your 420 optically, you can buy a optical slave pretty cheap.

Titus213 Cream of the Crop More info | Jun 27, 2008 16:49 | #9 I wouldn't get too excited about tripping EX flash units with an optical slave. Not sure about the 420EX but most don't react well with those slave units. Dave

They are running around $188 @ Adorama. Is it $188 for 1 or 2 units? If I have 2 flashes, I guess I need 3 of them (1 on camera + 2 on flashes). Does that mean I'll be paying $188 x 3?!?!? If the price doesn't dissuade you and you still want to get a set, you can get them a little cheaper from Norman Camera. A set of two for $350 ($175 a piece) or one for $178.50. ...Leo

Almost up there closing on a nice L lens...  Anyone has experience with the knock off brand they sell on eBay (PT-04 or something of that sort). I'm sure they are inferior, but if they work... do I really need to care? They work, just not well. If you don't mind misfires and assorted other hassles, go right ahead EOS 20D w/ BG-E2 grip
