O.k. all in a quandry - I have 28 days until next dive trip.. looking for a new strobe to play with for my Oly set up SP-350 / PT-30 - Currently have left over slave - Sealife(just because I still have it) and hate every time I take it out. I am desperate to upgrade b4 I leave. I have narrowed down my choices as follows
1. YS-110 with the Athena TTL conversion for OLY.
2. INON D-2000 /D-2000Wn or Z-240.
These are my choices, I have not seen any posts on the Athena conversion any thoughts, comments or shreaks of flooding???? anyone with these current set ups that can give pros/cons?? Since this is an expensive "hobby" we all have. The more info one can get b4 purchase is most helpful. Thanking all/anyone in advance.

I don't think you can go wrong with either setup. The athena setup will be more expensive. The wireless s-ttl of the Inon's works very well. I just purchased the Z-240 and that thing packs a lot of punch. Easily the most powerful strobe of the ones you have listed. The focus light of the Inon's is also nice to have.
i agree, personally i would go for the inon though, it does pack a punch has a fcus light and does'n't involve messing around with other ttl system attachments as theÃrs works great. plus when or if you go to tethered ir larger system there no upgrade needed
have fun on your trip

I will go for the Heinreich Weikamp bulk head, S&S Sync cord and a YS-110.
No leaking of the bulkhead for me and the sync cord is definitely most sturdy compare to the fibre optic cord. I have not use the Z-240 before but it is definitely a good strobe to use if u can pay the price the difference.
