Originally posted by reivax Yeah, I wasn't thinking the bracket had magical powers or anything. I just didn't know if connecting the triggers with a cable, instead of using them wirelessly, could allow some sort of ttl or pttl capability. I'm assuming that won't work.
Sorry I misunderstood. I don't have any RF triggers, but my understanding from following the threads is that they are all manual, no P-TTL.
There is also the Aokatec triggers, but those kinda cheat because they don't actually do regular P-TTL. Rather, they just proxy the optical Wireless P-TTL signal over an RF connection. Normal P-TTL just fires one preflash, and then one main flash, through your hotshoe. Wireless P-TTL adds a bunch of signal flashes between the controller and remote in addition to the preflash and main flash -- and yes, with the Aokatec units, you do have to use your pop-up flash (or another hotshoe-mounted flash) as a controller.
Wireless P-TTL flash sequences are really fast, but I could almost swear that I can tell the difference between the time it takes to fire a Wireless P-TTL shot, vs. a normal P-TTL shot. Not sure if I am right, or if it is all in my head.
Originally posted by reivax I did see that Aputure sells this product. Seems to be a knock off of the adapters that Pentax sells.
Yeah, that looks like just the ticket! I might have to get one of those myself.
