I'm not too sure about the first part, but you can trigger as many cameras/flashes as you want/can afford PWs for...

I've never tried using PW's in mirror lock up mode, it should work in theory but you'd have to press the test button on the trigger twice perhaps.

As for triggering 2 camera's as remotes with 3 wizards, yes you can but you need 2 motor drive cables to connect the wizard to the camera body.

Thanks Tomas, is that 1 cable per camera or 2 per camera? i'm thinking about buying 2 twinpacks from Hongkong seller and not sure which cables are supplied.

Mitch.
 
Look at the price of the cables first too...
 
Thanks Flash, i just need to resolve the mirror lockup issue now otherwise it's sandbags to stop camera movement on trigger release.
 
Thanks again Flash, i think Tomas is right when he said 1 click to lock mirror up and 2nd click to release shutter.
 
Just got to pop out for a couple of hours, Cheers Flash.

Nicked off another forum......................

"you definitely won't have any issues with the PW units because the PW unit connected to the camera will only trigger the unit connected to the flash when the shutter is open and not when the mirror is swung up during the intial phase of the mirror lockup operation."

Hope this helps.
