Don't knock using the PUF for wireless flash ... it works very well,
for a fraction of the price of Pocket Wizards -- essentially zero

I did some live music shots last week that way. I parked a 540FGZ
attached to a mini-tripod on top of a house speaker, stage left.
Flash set for 58mm and aimed along the row of mics. Then I wandered
around front of stage and got shots, all P-TTL using the PUF as
wireless controller. Many excellent shots with dramatic side-
lighting resulted. No musicians harmed by on-camera flash and no
red-eye. Was able to control the flash remotely power from the
K20D's Fn menu.
I would love to see the results from this if they're online somewhere.
I generally dislike flash at concerts, but..... depending on the type/
volume of a show, I might try something clever like that.
