I just noticed that Wein makes a "digital slave" This is a little cube of clear plexiglas that has a "hot shoe" on top and a "flash detector" inside. This little $45 gadget will turn any standrad flash into a digital slave (it will ignore the preflashes)
Vivitar has made the "285" model flash for years. Its a standard with weding photograers
and others, it's rugged, powerfull and cheap. street price is $90.
So for $135 I can have a very powerfull digital slave flash. All I need is a housing and
I'll have one that works under water. A flash housing should be much simpler than a
camera housing to make as there are no controls required.
