You get TTL from remote flash ..  

Some camera, ( say higher model on Nikon ) even built in flash, can be used as master, and control few other flash unit, and you can set the ratio FROM THE BODY ..  
(I think even low end camera as SONY, do that too, but I dont plan to buy a SONY flash .. )

But for most other flash, you can set as master or slave ..  even 6 ot 7 or 10 units ..  still, get TTL.

New PW (coming in April) can support full ttl, ETTL, ITTL with their wireless radio remote unit ..   another great new product ..  

just dont know how much ....

Advantage for using flash light + umbrella/mini soft box is convinenince and cheap ...  disadvantage is ...  limited power and control...


It is actually good idea for product shot, such as this BREAD SHOT, or small gundam model ...  etc ..   even good for kids photo .. and indoor portrait.

I am am still use to use light meter ..  but I guess with digital now ..  can just keep trying ..

P.S. so rick rick you mean they are your customer, and they bring your chicken tail buns?  that many???

he he ..  I dont live in Van ...   so .. dont know la....  

So I guess you are helping them to take some bun pic ..  

PW is good, since it is reliable, and good range ...  

However, again, with digital .. how many DSLR users care about reliabe or not?  unlike FILM ....  roll of 24 ..  better get ~ 20 good pic from it ...  so reliability is important ..  but DSLR user?  like my friend, just come to my house for hot pot .. can take 600 pic ....  he says even 10% are good ..  60 good pic la wor ...  

No TTL from PW untill now .....  

ST-E2 is good/cheap/TTL .. just small range, and again .  2CR5 ..
