Slave triggers for digital cameras
A couple years ago I bought a digital slave flash trigger to use one of
my old flash units for my small digital camera. I hoped it would allow me to get decent pictures during things like wedding receptions where people were 30 ft away. The flash unit on my small digital camera does not have near the penitration for these types of pictures. The slave I bought was not sensitive enough and would usually only work in limited cases where it was able to see the bounce flash of the small camera. If you took photos in a large space or out of doors, it did not go off. I have been looking at the Digi-slave Deluxe 3000 Slave Flash for Digital Cameras (Guide No. 110') from B & H for $130 and Metz 28 CS-2 Digital Slave Flash for Digital Cameras also for $130 from B & H. Does anyone have experience with these and other solutions and comments about these flashes as far as flash power relative to the old flash units like my Minolta Auto 280? |

If you're going to look at spending $130 for optical slaves, start looking at Pocket Wizards instead. That's an absurd amount of money for optical slaves. -- Jeremy | |
