Hi all - I've been taking pics for some time with my rinky-dink little Pentax Optio S5i in the factory housing because I am operating on a tight budget.
I would like to start expanding first by adding a strobe, but having some trouble finding something to meet all my parameters:
1) Sub-$500 (although I don't mind if it's used)
2) Fibre-triggered (I have the Sea & Sea mask for the Pentax housing which gives me a fibre socket over the covered internal flash)
3) Compatible with pre-flashes (can't turn them off on the Pentax)
4) Absolutely must have a focus light (aka target light, modelling light)
4) Hopefully something I can keep around and useful as I expand to double strobes & newer/better cameras/housings/lenses/ports
I know, tall order. Any advice? The S&S YS-110a looks like it would fit the bill but for the cost.
I'll also be needing a mount & arm for this...
