Long story cut short...

Have a camera body that can control wireless flash (or a SB800 onboard). That is a D70 or D200 can do perfectly well.

Set the camera body to "Commander" flash mode.

Set the flash to sync with the camera's channel and group.


Put the flash anywhere that it can sense the light fired off from camera's onboard flash (yes, it uses a flash light frequency to control them). And they will fire off precisely with the TTL metered scene..
