Nice work. The PC connector on the end of sync cables has always been the weak link. You'd think with the way technology has advanced, someone would have come up with a better connector, but no... The advancements have been in the way of high-priced wireless triggers. Obviously driven by profit and not the desire to make a better mousetrap.

I love watching the expressions on the judge's faces when these people start singing. Especially Simon Cowell...

I want to see a duet with her and Susan Boyle.

The not-so joyous side of having a small lens...

Are you feeling a little dirty?

Nice! I hope you like it as much as I like the Domke camera strap I bought last Saturday.

No, should I? I decided I really like shoulder bags, and could use a slightly larger one for my trip. I hope this one works out, we will see when it gets here.

Yes....yes you should...

What model did you get?

I went with the F-802.

I do believe that is one of the models that carries the Jon seal of approval.

From the university gardens today.

As well as mine. Most excellent choice!!

Still using my slightly-customized F802 and loving it.

Profit indeed, but also compatibility. Imagine trying to introduce a new keyboard layout. Every once in a while some 'genius' does, and guess what? The world ignores them..... we are too entrenched on our existing layout.

There are alternatives though, some folks have been using mini-DIN connectors, household plug connectors, and then some. I'd like to see something like USB-A, it would survive a lot of abuse, but some twit is bound to plug USB into it and try and find out what it does.

Check out Strobist.blogspot.com for his recommendations about household connectors. I think I even saw recommendations for hotshoe-to-household adapters that completely eliminate the need for you to use PC Sync.

Me use optical slave, easiest, cheapest ($5 each on ebay) and most reliable

He's apparently using the left-handed model of whatever body that is.
