Testing new TTL CONVERTER III by Sea&Sea

Hi guys, a lot of people in Antibes ! At this time was testing my new TTL CONVERTER III in Sharm el Sheikh with good results.

A lot of news: first the new Converter comes with a new case for the battery and now the polarity are inverted ... i think no more problems with no Sea&Sea housings. The very big difference between the second release is now the possibility to use different Sea&Sea Flash! I was using an Ys-90 Duo and the new Ys-110 with good results but not sure about TTL working.

I published a little article on my web site (for the moment only in italian, i will translate soon as possible in english) with some demo pictures. I hope it could help.

Someone using this new converter? Give me some impressions it will be interesting for me.

Many thanks

Erik, thats interesting you say that you can use two different strobes with it. When I got mine, I spoke directly to the Sea & Sea Technical rep. in Los Angeles. He made a point of saying it will only work with two of the same strobes. Humm?

Yes, you are right eric! last sunday, i tried using Ys-90 auto and Ys-110 with Sea&Sea TTL III + Dx-D80.

The results : i can't get the TTL worked.

the Ys-90 didn't want to fire at all...

?? I'm confused now

Hello Erik,

I have been using the Nikon v3 converter for about a month. You can see my experience with the converter in a thread under lighting techniques in the forum.

It would be helpful for me to know what camera you use. We have had problems with the converter when using it with the d200 and v2.0 firmware. With the d2x it has worked very well with firmware 1.01

Best wishes,

Espen

Hi guys and thank you to helping me with my little tests! Sorry for my poor english i will be more precise:

my test was maked with a D200 (version 2.0), a new Fuji S5 PRO ad a Dx-D200.

1) With 2 YS-90DUO all works fine with the D200, with the Fuji S5 PRO sometimes flashes don't fire ....

2) With 1 YS-90DUO and 1 YS-110 with D200 ... the first (YS-90) was not firing at all, with the Fuji was firing but not sure about TTL working.

So i'm still testing ad i will make some new tries ... for that reason i was searching more informations and news on the web :-)

In any case thank you, i hope to receive other impressions and results here, especially using the news Ys-250 ... some people say that don't works with the TTL Converter...

Bye all
