Hi Team,
I would like to put together a remote flash connection system so that I can
use up to three flashes in parallel on my LX (am maybe the MZ-S) for
creative TTL flash with macro images. I am fully aware of the components
which allow this for the LX system however I am tired of chasing the parts
which it seems are becoming more and more difficult to find let alone
ridiculously expensive.
In any case I am not really pleased with height of the Flash grip and would
prefer a simple low profile device with a tripod socket on its base for adaption
to a macro flash bracket. I expect that to fulfil my needs I will need to modify
existing components (and maybe also integrate third party products into the
system).
I trust the collective wisdom of the group will provide me with the answers to
the following questions which will help me to determine all the options
available:
Does anyone know where the conventional off camera flash components for
the LX system can still be bought? ie flash grip, cables, distributor, sync
cords, clamp, LX bracket
Can the new digital flashes be connected in parallel like the old analogue
units (I have absolutely no experience with them)?
The remote flash options available for the digital system look like what I am
after (I saw a photo of Mark Cassinos set up on his equipment page however
Bozs site has broken links and last time I looked B&H had no pictures). Can
the new systems be used to facilitate basic TTL off-camera flash for the LX?
Can someone provide links to pictures of the components (especially from
directly above so that I can see the contact configuration)?
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Rob Studdert
