Does Elan 7 allow ratio control? I love my Elan II but the lack of ratio
control limits my creativity in certain cases. Of course after getting a
flash meter etc it might not be necessary.

I think that is how it should work. At least on my 550ex. You are supposed
to set the ratio on the 550ex, and then fire away. But as I mention, this is
from what I read since my camera does not support this. Why it does not
support it (should be a function of the flash, not the camera) is probably a
marketing thing by Canon.
