Yes, the new Pocketwizard Flex (transceiver) units and Mini (transmitter) units work with E-TTL. Yes, you can do high-speed sync with them. Pocketwizards also developed a technology called Hypersync that allows another stop or so pastthe naturalmax sync speed of your camera using (I believe) any flash. The units are re-programmable using a USBcable and your computer.


To elaborate further, the new PW units can do normal/HyperSync/high-speed sync or normal/high-speed sync or normal/HyperSync. For any of the modes that use high-speed sync, they can increase the usable light output of your flash, up to 1.8 stops better (camera-dependent). This is a prime reason why I have three Flex units on order, due to arrive on Monday.


I'll admit that I'm aware of the distance limits with the 580II flashes that I use, so I ordered two SuperClamps (to hold the Flex units on the stand away from the flash) and two OC-E3 cables to interconnect the goods, and picked up some ferrite cores at RadioShack today.
