Connecting a Olympus Housing to Ikelite Strobes

HI Everyone,

Just need to find out can I connect a pair of Ikelite DS-125 strobe to the upcoming Olympus PT-E01 housing for the E300 using a stobe code and the have full ttl function.

Thanks

With the Olympus housing the only way to get TTL will be with an olympus land strobe in an Olympus housing.

With Ike 125's I would recommend getting manual controllers and using these for manual strobe control. You will not be able to get TTL with this setup though.

In the world of digital many prefer manual control. See a thread in the best of forum called "TTL Anonymous".

This is my expectation based on previous olympus housings.

I use one on a PT-020 with an Ikelite DS-50 strobe - works great!

It fits PT-020, PT-022, PT-023, PT-027 and most likey PT-E01.
