Dear CSers,
After 20 over years of shooting, I ended up today situations. Equipment as follow:
Nikon D7000 and D800. Lenses various to cover most shooting range. Only 1 Metz 58F2 flash.
Olympus EM1 Mark1 with most of the Pro lenses to cover most shooting range. Metz 64, Olympus 36, Nissin.
The solution required: Looking for the flash trigger to utilize all the above flashes to satisfy both Nikon and Olympus use but I am told that it is not possible if I want TTL. If without TTL I need Light meter to ensure the correct exposure. It added to the total cost.
A shop also recommended to use a video light, I cannot remember the brand but with a special cable, it can be used for the camera to trigger like a flashlight.
The issue is that both would cost me a minimum of S$1,500 or more if I need two light sources. If I need 3 light source will be more.
Today I read about the Litra Torch very good solution but not sure it supports the flashlight function and can work TTL with the cameras (both Nikon and Olympus).
Any advice from you to help me achieve what I want. I do a lot of volunteering free shooting both photo and video for the school and offices and family. It is my hobby. Cost saving is important to me.
