Optical Flash suggestions?

[..kimi..]

Can someone point me to a reliable optical slave for the Sunpak 383? I need to buy it soon so I can get it before next week Friday! I saw someone did a review on an ebay one but I can't find it! Thanks for you help!

Another option that I like to use with hotshoe flashes is a slave with its own hotshoe. Here are a few of mine. They have a threaded hole in the bottom for mounting on a light stand or tripod, and sometimes it's just quicker and easier to have a self-contained unit without any dangling wires. Note that they also have PC sockets for when you want to use the wire, or to fire a second flash simultaneously.
