I forgot to mention that I don't believe this setup provides E-TTL. Canon
Tech Support could tell you for sure. AFAIK, the only corded E-TTL solution
is the Off-Camera Shoe Cord 2, which controls a single off-camera flash.
Otherwise, you have to go wireless with an ST-E2 or 550EX on the camera and
one or more 420/550EX's remotely.
