    With the PocketWizard ZoneController "C" group will be an actual independent variable ratio third group; unlike how "C" group currently works with the Canon solution - where the ratio cannot be directly varied.

    PocketWizard has told us that the ZoneController will support E-TTL. If that's the case, the PW system will be dependent on Canon's metering, so wouldn't the C group be tied to Canon's logic (at least in TTL mode)? I can understand that it'd work as you describe when in manual mode.
    We're a Canon/Profoto family: five cameras, sixteen lenses, fifteen Profoto lights, too many modifiers.
