Sp-350 Questions from a Newbie

[ckofabq]

Muchas Gracias. Much more understandable now.
Larry, on your FL-20 flash, do you have that sync'd with fiber?
And- is it realistic to think that slaving my S&S ys90 auto will produce decent results?
I seem to get a real "hit & miss" on firing my strobe via slave mode.
CK-

Another option for TTL and lenses is to get the Oly housing and add the Inon bayonet mount base. This allows you to add Inon wide angle and close up lenses. They also have a strobe and cable kit that will apparently allow TTL. Look here for details. Will be able to tell you how it works in a few weeks time.
Cheers,
Rohan.

I finally put some pictures together of my homemade tray/arm, wide angle lens adapter and modeling light caddy for my strobe.

The arm is 1.25" dia. polypropylene "P" trap drain pipe. It's light weight, cheap, tough and adjustable. Longer and shorter pipe lengths can be interchanged. Arm can be extended out and rotated around the camera tray. Strobe is attached to a small stainless steel post and a 1/4" x 20 thread screw (the typical screw size for US tripod sockets). I embedded a 1/4"x 20 bolt in epoxy in the end of the pipe arm.

The tray is made from aluminum angle stock, stainless steel screws and plastic washers. The tray was epoxied into the lower pipe of the arm assembly.

My new Oply SP 350/ PT 030 housing will be used on this arm/tray assembly. Since I had a 20mm Sea & Sea W/A lens I desparately wanted to adapt it to the PT 030 housing. The lens' Motor Marine bayonet lugs fit within the 46mm lens bezel of the housing. I machined a sleeve which fits tightly around the housing lens bezel and the base of the lens. A lug ring is in the center of the sleeve. The sleeve is attached to the housing lens bezel with screws.

Finally I made a modelng light caddy which rubber bands onto the top of my YS 25 Auto strobe light. This was an adaptation of a MX 10 lens caddy.

Since the board server issue is still causing problems here are two flickr addresses for the images.
