I currently have the ST-E2 transmitter, 2 550-EX and 1 420-EX. I want to set up a 3 flash set up where 1 550EX as my key into an umbrella; 1-550EX as fill into a photoflex softbox; and I want to use the 420 EX for background/hairlight.
The ST-E2 only allows setting flash ratios on A-B channels. I know the 550EX has A, B and C capabilities, but I don't want a 550 to shoot on camera and the off camera shoe cord is too short to use it on an umbrella.
My camera is an EOS 3.
How can I control the lighting on the background light if I use the 420EX? Or is my option to use a 550EX as a background/hair light; set it to Channel B and manually control the FEC on it?
Thanks
