E-ttl with canon DSLR

Ok ,not a new topic but has anyone any ideas ,i have a sea n sea dx90 that iwant to use as a slave ,i tried it with a 550ex in a housing and it was great but too negative and messed with all the weighting of the housing uw.

so my next thought was using a c 'n' c 55 e-ttl strobe as a ttl trigger to use my 90dx as a slave and the 55 as a fill in on macro.

any ideas , has anyone found a decent working soloution ,i didn't need ttl until i borrowed someones canon 550ex in a housing, now i am hooked for macro creeping up on stuff ,no messing about as you get closer.

Jez,

try to test the Mathias converter, he made a circuit that converts the e-ttl II to nikonos ttl. so you will can use your Ys90.

Hi Fabio,

i keep seeing people talking about a matthis converter but after doing a search online i can't find it or details of it or where to get one, do you know, have you tried one, any good, many thanks for your help in advance, it's driving me crazy on macro, like you don't have enough to think about!

cheers

I have no experience with them, but have heard good things. You will need some ability soldering and some additional connectors and appropriate bulkhead. Hope this helps.
