DX-1G Strobe Question

[dukeh20]

My wife got me a a Sea & Sea DX-1G camera for our anniversary and now I am strobe shopping.

A buddy has a See & Sea YS-50 TTL/S Strobe with Cord that he is selling. He said the strobe is about 10 years old. Will that strobe work with my new camera??

Yes, that strobe will work with your camera. I am not certain about the connectors used by Sea&Sea from 10 years ago, but if the connector is different from what Sea&Sea uses today, it can be clipped with scissors and the adapter can be added.

The question is, will you be happy with the YS-50 strobe. If you can afford it, I would consider one of the new strobes because they will give you better results and will last longer. I own the YS-110a strobe and am very happy with the results. You can get one used and save a some money. Ebay usually has several up for auction.

Hey Bill:

Thanks for the advice. I decided to opt for the Sea & Sea YS-01 strobe. Reef Photo in Ft. Lauderdale put together a package for me that was better than what I was finding on Ebay. We'll see what I can do with it in Bonaire in 4 weeks.

I think you will be very happy with your purchase. You have to share a few pics with us.
