If you are using remote triggered slaves that are not controlled by the
camera you really need the flash meter. You must assure that the slaves do
not overpower the camera units in a manner that causes the camera to not be
able to control the exposure. /jim

Regarding the hookups, I think you 'get the picture'. As for the flash
meter, TTL is good, but a flash meter is better. I picked up a Minolta
autometer IIIf for $125. My exposures are dead on when I use it. It won't be
fooled by a dark or distant background, or varying amounts of light/dark
subjects. You might consider a couple of cheap umbrellas too. They really
make the light source less harsh in a way that an on-head diffuser can't.
Have fun!
