If you are into manual mode and incident reading 
(with a flash meter I presume), it is easiest to 
set up with wireless slave triggers, or servos. 
They are called several names. They come in hot 
shoe and/or wire plug versions. Put a small, light 
flash, or a T32 set to low power, on your camera 
to trigger all your slaved T32s. The flash on 
camera then comes handy for shadow fill too. 
Tripping on-camera-flash by hand, using its test 
flash button, allows to check the setup and do the 
reading.
A set like this keeps wires and the danger of 
tripping over them out of the way, allows for easy 
changes in arrangements and does not limit the distance 
between flash units to wire lengths.

Merry Xmas to all
Andreas
