No thoughts at all?

Not used one, but the first thing that strikes me is that there will be no feedback from the flashes to the camera. They will need to be on manual mode. It seems strange to me that there is a wireless trigger involved, instead of a cable.

If you use that with a 90 /105mm macro lens the flash heads will be behind the subject , which will cause all sorts of problems.

Why not save your pennies a little and buy a speedlite 430EX? That way you can use it for macro as per this link - Stan the man's set up as well as having a great flash for when you need it.

All bases covered then!

Some good ceit here guys thanks. Your right it dosent support ttl and the flashs do look long. Was worth asking though. A speed light is on the books it looks. Thanks for the help.
