I have a question. If I put the PW on the camera and an other one on the flash, can I trigger the camera and the flash with the Sekonic L-358?

in other words, can I use the Sekonic as a remote to realest the shutter?

Yes, you can assuming that you have the proper remote release cable for the camera. You'll need to set the PW unit on the camera, which I'm assuming is a Plus II, to relay mode. The Sekonic then needs to be set to the same channel as the PW unit on the camera. The PW unit connected to the flash, however, needs to be set to a channel one higher than the channel set on the PW unit on the camera. If all the PW units are set to the same channel, the flash will not properly sync with the camera.
