TTL = Through The Lens. Flash metering is through the lens, using the camera's metering system.
Plus "Threw The Lens" would mean that someone physically tossed it!
What did I just buy? UGH!

My bad
so sorry! my spelling is usually pretty good....but still the OP will get the gist. I hope he doesn't throw (threw) his lens away now.

You most likely won't be able to use it with your point and shoot. Does your Point and Shoot housing have an electrical connector for a strobe? Most I've seen use fiber optic cables and this strobe doesn't have a optical slave port does it?

Well, thank you for all the information. I dont think I want to use film. I know there is a huge debate over it, but Id rather stay with digital for various reasons.

Ill consider the offer and let you know once it arrives.
Did the hard case come with it? That's a minimum of $50 right there You got a good deal with the bits and bobs you can scavenge from it. Just make sure when you go digital that your new bits are compatible.
OH, and check out the Sticky - linked in my sig - for all you need to know to get started in UW Photo. There's a ton of info and links in there to help with many initial questions and some more advanced ones. It will also help you ask questions should you need more information.
Have fun!
