I've jumped on the DSLR bandwagon and I'm starting look for lenses, housings + ports, and strobes.
My dilemma. Bare with me as I'm still green around the colar about dual strobe use with DSLR's...
I have a Inon D-2000 (non "w" model) which I have used with my Canon compact camera. This strobe is only optically triggered; no option for a sync cord like the newer D-2000w and Z-240. I plan on buying the new Inon Z-240 as a primary Strobe for my DSLR. But can I use the D-2000 as a slave? I'm a bit confused on how the D-2000 would operate as a slave. Does it just sense the master strobe's flash through its optical sensor at the bottom (obviously I would have to set the slave strobe manually). Is that sufficient? I notice Inon sells an optical slave cord which you attach to the front of another Inon master strobe to trigger it. Is this required only so that it could possible get the slave to work in TTL?
Or am I better off selling it and getting another Z-240 which could be wired directly to the DSLR?
