[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 596594, member: 27017"] [USER=12542]@LouCioccio[/USER] Your links just reinforced my reason for questioning why the sensor on the flash needs to be pointed toward the subject. ([I][B]Remember I am thick headed sometimes and it doesn't sink in. Ha![/B][/I]) TTL is "Through the Lens" which is the camera metering and controlling the output of the flash, at least that is the way I understand it. The only time I can see that the flash sensor has to be pointed in any particular direction would be for triggering with the IR Commander mode. Using radio triggers, it is omnidirectional and even goes around corners. The only flashes that I can think of that would need to sense the lighting is the flashes that have automatic TTL where you set the aperture and ISO on the flash as well as setting it for what you want on the camera. Ok, hammer away. Ha! [/QUOTE]
