Looking for the Right Strobe

[zrsteve]

I'm looking for a strobe to attach to my Cannon WP-DC34. I'm considering an Ikelite AF35. Any opinions (good or bad) on this combination?

Thanks,
Steve

If you can afford it you may want to look at the Sea&Sea YS-02. It is an excellent strobe and one that can grow with your system.

There are better ways to spend $400 including a sea and sea YS01 having said that a YS02 at 269 is a great value and has GN 20 10 in water with 110 angle

I am looking for one too for my xz1, I have a sea life strobe, it works but I want something smaller and better ys02 seems great and inexpensive but inon s2000 seems better and smaller but expensive, haven't decided yet...

You can buy two ys02 with the price of one inon..

Inon is a good product that has a different logic than the Sea & Sea.

Do you need a strobe that can do TTL without a fiber cable or you just want a manual strobe?

From a pure luminance point of view they are all GN 20 100 degrees the YS01 has a target light the other two don't

So if you want something with TTL you go for the S2000 or the YS01 if not you are good with the YS02

Entirely depending on how you take your shots for a compact or prosumer I would not bother with TTL

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I went with a YS-01/Fantasea Blueray tray package from Mozaik.
