Whats the cheapest way of getting TTL lighting on a 5D mk2 these days.

Using all MK2 flashguns but have no way of controlling them like on my old 7D. Also have a couple of MK2 flashguns which I might be interested in taking with me.

If you just want the same functions that the 7D offers then you want a Canon ST-E2.Looking at about £150ish brand new.

If you want to go uber cheap(but manual) try out the cheapy cactus trigers off ebay.They actually work pretty well.

You need a master E-TTL controller. Cheapest is an ST-E2. The top end guns also act as masters, such as the 580EXII and also similar/cheaper models from Sigma, Nissin etc.

Then there's the trick but pricey radio option from Pocket Wizard, or any number of manual-only radio triggers. I use Yongnuo RF-602, as do a lot of others - £28 a set.

You can get those, and even cheaper alternatives from Flash In The Pan on here. Check his thread in the advertisers section.

£24 a set, until the end of the week (I know, I've just bought a set from FITP ).
