Nikonos 105 as slave

Can I use a Nikonos 105 as a slave fill flash with an Inon Z-240 being fired TTL by fiber optics from an Olympus C-8080?

The only problem with using an sb-105 as a slave is the inability to use the diffuser. The diffuser covers the slave sensor and makes it very difficult to fire. This will usually only work by pointing the diffused sb105 straight at the connected strobe. This is quite impractical for an on-camera strobe rig.

This generally rules out wide angle, since the sb-105 will give a noticable hotspot. Will work ok for macro though.

You could also make a custom diffuser, or drill a hole in the current diffuser. Perhaps even double up on the fiber optic connections, just match the cord end to the hole on the diffuser.

You will not be able to use the SB105 if you are using the Z240 as a TTL flash (optically triggered by the 8080).

The SB105 will fire on the preflash and will not have recharged by the time the main flash from the Z240 goes off.

Sorry.

You can use BOTh of the flashes as manual slaves to good effect though.
