I can see this as being very very handy. Canon is hopelessly locked into a proprietary flash system (although not as bad as MInolta which doesn't even have a standard hot-shoe). One of the nice things about Nikon flashes is that most of them retain 'A' mode so you can use them on non-TTL cameras. Karen -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/
