A quick question that perusing the OM did not satisfy. There is no mention of a pre-flash cancel, does this strobe have that capability?

I understand this is a full manual only strobe, nonetheless I need a pre-flash cancel mode.

I think yes, it is S1 mode, single flash

Thanks I saw mention of S1 and S2 but no explanation of what they are.

I am just thinking, exploring options none of which seem attractive to me. I am sitting on a pile of money earmarked for strobes but not a strobe exists that I am satisfied with. I am of the mind I will not pay for a strobe that has RC/Sony only modes and no slave TTL. Like WTH! Or they are big enough and heavy enough to serve as a boat anchor and put my airline weight limits to the test!

I am a manual shooter but slave TTL is useful at times and I have spending $2000 plus on strobes without that capability and modes I have no use for. My rant for the evening.

If Retra could shrink the Maxi (?) to a Midi and say it ran about $1,000 per unit I could get excited. If it had slave TTL.
