Alot of people are ignorant about this wonderful little device, called the DIGITAL ADAPTER.
So decided to post about it here.
The digital adapter homepage
German made by Mattias.
Some American folks have tested it, it works perfectly. :thumbsup:
I have also asked the maker and this was his reply:
It will ONLY work for Olympus cameras.
Yes, the TTL is very accurate - even better than the internal flash.
It costs 153 Euros(inclu shipping), that makes it around SIN$350.
Getting a used YS-60 TTL strobe for Nikonos + Sync cord is
around SIN$300-350. Look out on ebay or find it locally.
Ebay has one now(for example) at ard SIN$300 when last checked:
YS-60 TTL for sale
Andrew (local sea&sea) quotes a brand new one at SIN$595, not including sync cord. I believe you can get it in Japan (brand new + shipping) cheaper then getting it here.
Current Advantages:
1)Quite a number of photographers are moving towards digital
or give up diving, so I believe it's not that difficult to get
them 2nd hand.
2)A digital strobe is around $800(eg YS-90 DX).
Ikelite DS-50 around is around that price,
not to mention the super ex DS125
(still need to buy TTL sensor which I find it not worth the $$$) :faint:
A used YS-60 is half of that or much less.
3)The best part, you get full TTL!!
4)No need to buy very expensive housings just because you need a
bulkhead to use TTL strobes
5)Also benefits conventional film photographers who already have the
same strobes, they do not need to buy new ones(digital strobes)
when they go digital.
6)Save money when you get your 2nd strobe
-----
If you stick with Oly cameras all the way or for the next few years,
worth the investment.
The digital adapter + used YS-60 + sync cord is = 1 digital strobe (have not included optic cable)
Get the 2nd digital strobe + optic cable, costs another SIN$900.
Get the 2nd used YS-60 + sync cord, ard $500, almost 50% savings!
Which can be used to invest in strobe arms, base plate.....
The digital adapter not only support YS-60 TTL, it also supports:
Sea&Sea YS50/90/120 for Nikon-TTL.
Think about it!
(want to save money, cannot be lazy, do research)
PS: Maker highly recommends getting the YS-60 TTL for Nikon
