Thanks Mike!
The info is likely to have an immediate impact on me! I'm using Quantum X2
flashes (probably overkill but it is looking promising). I've got an extra
engine (command module & battery) that needs a head. I'll hold out short of
a fang until Quantum comes out with the E-System capability.
Johnny wondered why I didn't get a 24-105/4 for my 5D. Thinking about that
makes me think the E-System is probably close to a dead end for me. The 4/3
format works well for the real estate advertising. The 7-14 is awesome ...
but the pro E-System lenses are incredibly expensive and the mega pixels to
justify them don't seem to be there.
I hope you and Marnie got a chance to relax and play with the macro stuff
over the holiday. I've started carrying the right angle finder around with
the 5D daily, but I haven't had a chance to play.
Best wishes,
-jeff

Pinged Quantum: They said "they do intend to support wireless capability
with the E-1 and E-330." Current products do not work well. They have had
some trouble, though the engineers are on the case now. They said check
back in as soon as a couple weeks for an update. How this translates for use
with previous versions of the flashes is not clear.

The Quantum bits and pieces are slowly coming together. I'm using the older
2 version flashes and older version RF slaves. Quantum documentation isn't
kept up to date very well so I could be missing something here also.
While looking for a way to have the RF slave (FW10) trigger the camera, I
found two different options for my 5D, a single option for an Olympus motor
drive equipped OM, but no options for my E-1. Is there one?
The only hot shoe adapter "foot" for the RF transmitter that I could find to
work with the E-1 is their FW11 which is a generic adapter and doesn't
provide any TTL capability. The 5D is completely supported. (The D10w
adapter provides wired capability for an E-1 comparable to the wireless
capability a FW53N adapter provides the C*non 5D)
