Craig,
If I remember correctly the 420 CAN BE set to a particular group (i.e., A, B,
or C) therefore allowing ratio control from either the 550EX (all three groups)
or the ST-E2 (A and/or B groups only) when used on an Elan 7/EOS 3/EOS 1V. I'm
sure someone on the list can confirm this.
Using the Elan IIe I have to meter and set the flashes manually (it's a bit
more trouble but I like the added control this gives me). The choice for me
was a no-brainer.
Hope this helps,
--Ian
