one very cool thing about the 285 HV is that you can take the sensor off the the flash unit if you buy the extra cord.

ETTL? I think you're confused.

There is an automatic mode on the HV, but it doesn't measure through the lens; it measures through the sensor on the front of the flash.

Yeah; I have the cord, and it's great for off-camera flash. The sensor pulls off the flash and goes on the cord, which then goes on the hot shoe. Then the flash can go on a bracket, into a softbox, whatever, and the sensor is still near the lens axis.

Cool for its day. Not as good as TTL metering, but the next best thing.
