OK, after doing some quick research, and it has to be quick because I only have a few days to find the strobe I want, purchase it, and get it here before I leave.
I am going to jump in and get the YS-90DX with the fiber optic sync cord. My confusion lies in the TTL setting. My PT-010 case for the C-3040 does not accommodate a TTL sync cord so I am assuming that the fiber optic cable performs the same function but with a bit less accuracy. So I need a slave strobe or a TTL slave sensor.
Question:
a. YS-90dx
b. Fiber Optic Sync Cord
c. Multi Stay Base
d. Sea Arm Bracket Shoe
e. Flexible arm.
Where can I get the best deal on all of this?
Your strobe will be completely manual. If you are using it with the 3040 you will have to connect the fiber optic cable and set the strobe to "PRE" This will make it a manual slave strobe. Basically it will fire when your camera takes a picture and it will put out the strobe power that you tell it to.
If you need to get the strobe for a trip on Monday, you will need to order it today.
Cheers

James, I appreciate all of your advice. Looks like I am off to make the purchase. One last question before I hit the "Complete Purchse" button, is this as automated as the stobe can get given my current equipment? (C-3040,PT-010)
