It seems to be rather inconsistent. Some shots it's perfect, and then the
next shot it's massively overexposed. That's using a 550EX with an EOS-3
in manual mode with E-TTL flash, which should be about as good as Canon's
system gets. Having said that, I shot 4 rolls with a pair of 550EXes a
while back and nearly every shot was okay (some a bit dark, some a bit
light, but good enough for what I needed), so it's not really even very
consistent in its inconsistency :-).
