Works great for that.

These are all great solutions - IF you want to calculate the flash
exposure manually (or with a flash meter, in which case it isn't cheaper).
The LiteLink is the only TTL optical slave I know of - the rest just fire
the flash full power. (The TTL flash meter in the camera shuts off the
flash when the film has gotten enough light. The litelink shuts off
the slave when the master goes off - I don't think any of those other
products do that).

Just the litelink. The others are too much like work :-)
