Seems like the easiest thing to do would be to go out and buy a Sunpak if
you wanted to avoid, for some reason, a considerably advanced technology
like E-TTL. Save some money to boot over the Canon flash. I just can't
understand what this "BEETTL" stuff is. The pre-flash on my 550EX happens
so close to the main flash it's almost as if it's one flash going off. I've
heard some pros complain about the EOS 3 when it came out, but never the
550EX that came out with it...and not a peep about the E-TTL pre-flash being
intrinsically distracting or annoying.
