I have a set of four Canon 600EX-RT Speedlites and four 430EX-RT IIIs. In the hummingbird workshops I teach, I need a way to let other camera systems fire and sync with my Canon Speedlites. To do this, I have had to resort to using a Male to Male P...

Can you use EZ series flashes (430EZ, 540EZ) on newer DSLRs?
