Well i bid on a 540ez flash for a 2nd flash, and read up that a nikon sb-24/26 would be nice for 100% manuel as its better, so i bid on one and won a sb-28, ordered a 2nd elinchrom receiver and flashzebra hotshoe/cable to mount it to my lightstand.

theres 24 minutes left on this auction for the 540ez and im 90% sure im going to win it, netting me a 3rd flash with no trigger for it.

i have a 430ex, nikon sb-28 and the 540ez i might win.

i have a skyport trigger and 2 receivers, is there anyway to set the 540ez with a receiver and the nikon sb-28 with the other receiver, and then fire the 430ex optically or am i doomed to buy another skyport receiver, or sell the flash?

the 430ex goes on the camera for ettl when i need a flash, the nikon sb-28 is for off camera flash with trigger, as the 430 is doing that right now by itself.

the 430 and sb-28 go on lightstands and the 540ez will go on a ministand or in the tablestand for a ground/background light

The SB-28 has the optical slave built in, right?
