Mike,

I don't see how you are going to connect these T20s to the camera body. A
T20 connected with a cable needs a T20 connector which makes it impossible
to use the flash shoes of the macro flash ring. If you get them mounted (and
connected), I think they would get to far in front of the lens. With a T28,
the flash reflectors are mounted just above their "feet". With a T20, the
flash tube and reflector are some distance in front of the flash "foot". It
could work for a distant subject (as with a tele-macro lens, the 135 mm) but
not with something in the 50 mm range.
