I have two matching Metzes and the special shoe. What can I say; it works really well. With a little thinking, you can get the system to get you correct ratios and all. However, I hate automatic stuff, so I only use it if I'm travelling light, and I have too little time to push a lot of buttons and walk to and fro with my flashmeter. Come to think of it, the last time I had so little time was 18 month ago. I much prefer to carry two studio flashes. They fit nicely in a Lowepro, and they get me precisely what I want. But anyway, the wireless TTL really works and the 1/60 thing is true (no big deal, because two flash units isn't your average fill-flash setup). Bernard
