I'm having serious cravings for a DSLR-system, and am constantly loosing sleep over which system to pick. Since the budget is limited, it has to be some of the entry level systems. While I was trying out a D70 in the photo store yesterday, I asked the salesman about compability between the old Nikon TTL and the new iTTL. According to what he had been told, it works but only in a smaller range of firing times. Could anyone here confirm this?
I would be a nice upgrade path for me, since I could keep using my S&S YS90 for the D70 until there's some good iTTL-compatible UW-strobes on the market (and my bank account will have some time to catch up).
PS. I guess it should have been in the strobe and lightning forum, but I can't find a way to move it. Sorry!
With all five hotshoe pins connected, your d70 will sense that an incompatible strobe is attached, and won't fire.
any good news for the availability of iTTL conversion from any honorable manufactorer?? How's Ike's??
I've got a Subal strobe housing (holds the SB28dx, SB80dx or SB800 strobe )for sale if anyone needs one.
It's whaterverTTL compatible and comes with a Nikonos sync cord.
Cheers
James
Hi James.... could you PM me with a price for your Subal flash housing
Thanks

And then you select manual in the menu, and your old gun will fire again when you also select manual on the flash.
Beside iTTL, will there be any manufacturer interested in converting the dTTL which will be utilized by the up-coming S3pro??

Only Ikelite has indicated interest in decoding dTTL and that will be done after iTTL, if at all.
