I've gotten myself super confused about the different strobe fibers out there. I have an refurbished Olympus TG-4 + corresponding PT-056 housing on the way. Now I want to add a used strobe that I can get a good deal on.
I have a bead on a Sealife SL961 for about $100, but looking at the flash adapter (PFCA-02) adapter the housing comes with, they are very different. The SL961 comes with a universal adapter (SL96202), but I have no idea how to stick it onto my housing.
Olympus has their UFL line of flashes, but the fibers are another $100. I'd know it fits though. Some of the Sea & Sea are supposed to be compatible, but I see several different connector types on Sea & Sea units so I can't even tell which ones.
Do these connectors have names? What is the best way to find out which flashes are compatible with this housing? Are there so few that if they look the same, it must be?
