wireless flash triggers



Of course though, that'* a lot bulkier and not for every day usage. Is anybody else here a Strobist?

Technically for pre-1988 Minolta AF (I get TTL metering when mounted on a film body), but it'll work with the wireless triggers manually. I got this one for $25
It may be easier to find as the Vivitar 636AF.
