Hello everybody-
So i have a g10 with the ikelite housing and right now i am just using an older Sealife slave strobe. If i were to upgrade to a better strobe, would you suggest i use a Ike strobe (like a DS125 if i could get it or a DS160), or a different company like Inon...
If i stay with Ikelite i can keep the TTL functions and wire it to the camera but i just dont know
thanks
 
you already have $ invested in ikelite housing.Why get a strobe that does not have ttl function thru the housing you already paid for.Get the ike 160 via a sync cord.

Totally agree.
 
Since you got an ikelite, its probably best to get their strobe that way you have TTL and if you don't like the results, just switch over to manual. As far as I know, the reason why I didn't get the G9 ikelite housing was I can't use the TTL feature with my two Sea & Sea strobes.

Yo always can get TTL with your Sea&Sea Strobes usign the Mathias adapter:

It works with almost any compact cameras and a lot of strobes, check if your strobes are compatible.

That just looks complicated...:confused:Thanks for the link though but I'm already in the process of getting a Sea & sea housing.
