You have several choices:
Canon ML-3 ringlight set (you'll need a step adapter to 55mm)
Canon MR-14EX ringlight set
Sunpak DX-8R (incl 55mm adapter) plus Sunpak CA-1AF module
Sunpak DX-12R  (you'll need a step adapter to 55mm) plus Sunpak CA-1AF module

All the above offer one form of TTL/OTF or another.
For a simpler, more basic (cheaper) unit, the Vivitar 5000 (incl 55mm 
adapter) uses a stripped down version of the auto-flash system found on the 
Vivitar 283, but no TTL/OTF.
