I have checked the flash prices and find that both Nikon and especially Canon are very expensive. Third part suppliers are much less expensive, MetZ, Sunpack? Sigma and claim to work with the E-TTL specs. What do you all think?

They only work partly wit the E-TTL or E-TTL II specs.
If you want complete compatibility, I reckon you need to go Nikon or Canon (and yes, Nikon si very good too <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />).
Personally, if I were to go non-OEM, I would get a Strobist set. Cheaper, and much more possibilities. Currently I have a combination, just need a few umbrellas still <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Kind regards, Wim
