I've been struggling with the same thing lately. Isn't strobist grand? I thought the PDML was bad for enablement. I found a Dot Line (RPS) non-dedicated wireless trigger at my local camera shop for $95. They had them in Canon dedicated units for a few bucks more. There were a couple of links to reviews of ebay triggers in previous strobist entries: http://hannemyr.com/photo/gt301b.html http://dslrblog.com/blog/chris-garrett/gadgetinfinity-ebay-radio-flash-slaves-review -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com Shoot more film! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
