Sorry, but it only works on the IS cameras.  It is worth it though for the
remaining 100f the time.  Best usage of mine is to snoot it and aim it at
my studio flash to trigger it since the IS doesn't have an x-sync connector.

The strobe feature (multi-flash) is excellent.  The brains in the
camera/flash figure out what your shutter speed is and spreads out the
flashes accordingly.  This works best at around a 1-2 second exposure.
