So what's this, then?

    Any ideas about what this is? Alex

  2. It looks like an Apollo Bio-filter with a Nikonos connector. Hook up a second stage to it and you can suck the water out of you housing if it begins to flood. :D

  3. Nikonos to PC sync socket???

  4. I've been sworn to secrecy...but as evidenced by the yellow O-rings, it is an Inon product.

     

    Anybody here remember the Light & Motion Optisync?

     

    No more clues for now.

  5. Ah Ha! Wireless TTL sensor in reverse???? IE, it puts out light instead of metering it??? It sorta looks like it might accept an Inon fiber optic kit plug...

     

    What would be sweet is if it could ignor the 18 preflashes put out by the D-TTL and fire for the duration of the main flash...

    :D But, if the camera has calculated the necessary duration of the main flash dump by measuring those 18 preflashes, isn't this going to lead to overexposure when the concentrated ball-o-sun fires :D

  7. James, check with Mark Rupert at the Inon booth at Dema, he'll be able to tell you all about it.

     

    I don't have any knowledge of this unit, but I'm skeptical that it will be the magic bullet for the eTTL/dTTL woes we encounter.

  8. :D Grapevine says its a device (under development) that converts an electrical signal to an optical one - to trigger an optical slave like the Inon D-180. It uses a Nikonos 5pin connection...
  9. Did anyone hear anymore about this (?),the company's advertising was that it would revolutionize u/w photography but have not heard anymore about it since the pre Dema hype.

  10. It is the Inon fiber optic strobe converter.
