Hi everyone,
I just bought a used ikelite housing with my 40d, and will be limited to working with the canon 60mm macro for the foreseeable future (not enough $$$ for a dome port and a strobe). I have not bought a strobe yet and am weighing my options. I've done a bit of reading on the forums but still have some questions about strobes. First of all, I'd like to by a used ds125 but the price may be a little much after chords and arms are factored in. I'm not sure I want to try and find a used ds50 as I want a strobe that'll grow with me when I finally get into wide angle. I've been looking at a used sea and sea ys110 and some used inon strobes but I'm rather unclear with their different TTL functions. From what I can tell, I'll lose the TTL function which may or may not be a huge deal depending on your opinion (though some like it for macro). Can someone weigh in on my dilemma? Specifically those using similar setups (ikelite housing) with a non ikelite strobe. Thanks for your time.
