However, since I haven't tried this setup myself, I won't stake my life on it. ...Leo

Opinions please would be very much appreciated. Cheers, Barry As long as the red plastic covering the AF Assist lamp on the 420EX is facing he 550EX, it should work.

Scott ... and if it's not facing the master flash, a small piece of white card taped at +/- 45° in front of the sensor will do, too. Eos 5D + Eos 7D + Eos 20D + f/1:1 L eye-glasses
