SP-350, PT-030 & Nikonos SB105?

[ewong]

Having a "Nikonos 5-pin" cable with my SP-350 and PT-030 (with Heinrichs TTL connector) lead me to do a bit of research into the Nikonos SB105 strobes. Has anybody tried the SP-350 with a Nikonos strobe?

They don't make strobes with a guide number of 33 anymore, like the Nikonos. That's theoretically 50% more power than my Sea&Sea YS-110 strobe.

Hi Eddy,

I use the Nikonos SB-105 strobe with the SP-350 and it works fine.
I had a new SB-105 strobe from my old camera setup and wanted to go digital. So I modified my Ikelite housing for my SP-350 and installed the Heinrichs TTL connector.
I used this setup in Indonesia without any problems.

Thanks for the reply. I have a buddy who flooded his Nikonos camera and is thinking of switching to digital. I suggested him to get the SP-350 with a Heinrichs connector and keep his Nikonos strobe. Good to know that there are others doing the same.

If I have the chance, I'll try a Nikonos strobe one day as well.
