Is the 270ex a good flash to send the e-ttl signal to off camera e-ttl flashes?

Feb 11, 2010 16:06 | #3 Only the 550ex, 580ex, 550ex II, and the ST-E2 can master off camera flashes. Rocking the R6 and (mostly) the 24-105 f4 L, 50mm f1.8 STM, and EF 135mm f2 L along with a few others.

I'm confused on what the best options are for a slave flash with E-TTL Yes. If you have a 580EX II flash, it can serve as a master to a 420EX flash in E-TTL mode. As an aside for anybody interested, wireless control of the 420EX in manual mode will not be possible because the 420EX flash does not support manual mode. ...Leo
