Hi,
I am planning to buy a single strobe that can be triggered optically. I am considering spending some extra money to get a strobe that mimics preflash to cut down on the amount of manual adjustments necessary to prevent overexposure. I have heard some people say systems that mimic preflash don't always function very well. I like the idea of letting my camera make as many automatic adjustments as possible so that I can spend less time worrying about settings and more time shooting (yes, I know about TTL, but can't afford it yet). Has anyone found that this sort of system can offer substantially increased flexibility and convenience and/or produce more consistent results? Secondly, do strobes that have target lights make a big difference in being able to get your subjects in focus more consistently? Any help would be great! Thanks
