Hmm, The thing is, that the ttl turns off the flash from the camera when
enough light reaches the film plane. So the only flash that turns off is the
on camera/corded flash. I think what they want to build is a
multiple-cordless-flash-ttl-relay-system wherebay the camera tells _all_ the
flashes to stop. Is that right?

I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for here but I have used multiple
flashes fired by slave units. I use a flash meter to set the slave units to
underexpose slightly then use the TTL unit attached to the camera to complete
the lighting for final exposure. This works well and minimizes the amount of
wiring needed. /jnm

Subject: [OM] Cordless TTL?
With so many technical minds on the list, I thought I'd throw out this question:
Has anyone built a cordless TTL flash link for Olympus systems? Is it possible
at a reasonable cost for an experimenter? I'm not technically inclined, but I
have wielded a soldering iron and followed instructions that include schematic
and parts list. I would think the rig would have to be very fast to relay the
signals without enough delay to affect the exposure.
Just wondering/curious. It would be neat to go cordless.
