Hi Yoko,

Do we know if the DS-TTL systems works properly this time?

Did S&S happen to say what they have accomplished with this new strobe that is different from the older model?

BTW, it's nice to see you back reporting for us...

Bruce...

I heard rumor that Sea&Sea is currently developing new housing that can be compliant with fiber-optic cable for YS110α.
