I've been playing around with this new toy again. I found it works more reliable if I attatch the transmitter to the camera using BOTH the hot shoe and the sync. cord. If I put a couple of flashes at various positions in my living room, I can just walk around and photograph from any angle - without using a flash on the camera. I'll still get very nice photographs. For this digital (*ist D) is prefered, since I can adjust the exposure (aperture) according to the LCD/histogram. I plan to try this out for occational party photography, when my kids come over for dinner or coffee etc.!

Quite cheap Chineese stuff. But very efficient! Now I can put a flash (or more flashes) anywhere an make it fire without using an on-camera flash! I just stick the transmitter in the hot shoe, and attach a reciever (I bought two) to the flash - BANG!! This device actually presents many new posiblities for using flash light from various direction. Lots of fun! Takke a look: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/6606087/ I bought it for the studio, because the *ist D won't fire the studio flash. I can use one reciever for the "front gruop" (main light, fill-in lioght etc.) and the other reciever for the "rear-group" (hair light, background light etc.). Flashes with out a reciever will be triggered by a normal optical cell. Jens Bladt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt
