Canon 580EX, 430EX and Pockewizards..do they all work together??


Hi i recently bought pocket wizards as i got a really good deal on them. now i planning of getting on 580EX (master) and one 430EX (slave). I want to set up my 580EX as key light and 430EX as fill light. can i use both of them off the camera?
Can i use just one pocket wizard to control 580EX. I think 580EX inturn controls 430EX in master/slave modes? am i right. Im totally new to this whole flash photography stuff. please suggest.

thanks

Yep, that should work just fine. You may need to buy a special cord to go between the 580 and the pocket wizard, I'm not sure.
