I looked around and perhaps missed it but does anyone shoot manual camera and manual strobes but use Auto ISO?

Same, manual camera settings, Auto ISO but with sTTL?

I would think the former would not work, since the ISO will be set based on some kind metering, which will probably happen before the strobes fire?

I think I used to do the latter fairly often when I had an sTTL setup. I can't claim the results were great, but there were many reasons for that (including me).

I have found this to be correct.

The only time I have found auto ISO super useful is if I’m on the surface and want to grab a quick frame of the approaching boat, etc. and don’t have time to readjust the manual settings for the bright ambient light.

The metering would be the same as would occur in Tv or Av? But those would be fixed so it is the ISO that is allowed to float if Auto ISO selected? Really, I have no idea, thus asking you folks with more camera knowledge?

Sure the metering is the same, but Tv and Av will have the same problem with stobes in manual mode: the camera will assume things are very dark, and once the strobes fire things will (most likely) be overexposed.
