YS-90 TTL AUTO DUO or Nikonos SB-105?

Hi Guys,

These are the 2 options my budget can afford right now. I can find both strobes used for a decent price.

Could you please let me know your opinions on these strobes?

I will be shooting optically with my Oly SP-350 on a PT-030 housing.

If you know of any better options in the $200, max $300 range, please let me know.

Thanks so much

I am using both. The Nikonos mounted on the left side and the Sea& Sea on the right.

Both are slaved of the camera's flash. A Olympus 5060.

I much prefer the Nikonos sb 105. Faster recharge time & more control over output. - important to me as I dont have TTL .

Additionally the nikonos is positively bouyant - helps when you adjust the aim. The Sea& Sea drops - so a bit more difficult to make a quick adjustment.

Cheers.

Thanks all for the advice. I was mistaken it wasn't a YS-90 Auto, it was the YS-90 TTL DUO. I ended up buying it for $160 even tough it has only 2 power settings. Should be fine.

Thanks
