Can non digital strobes be used in TTL mode with the S2 Pro?
Now that Aquatica plans to release a housing for the S2, I am considering switching to digital. I hope to avoid sinking any more $$ into strobes (I have too many as is).
Fuji S 2 Pro strobe compatability

Hi Chris,
Welcome to Wetpixel.
In my experience, any strobe will do TTL w/ the S2.
I have used:
SB105
SB102
S&S YS90DX
Ike DS125
Chris, I just got a chance to try the Aquatica S2 housing - I hope to have a full review ready soon.

James,
If you would please. Since you have used various strobes with an S2, would you give an opinion on which you feel would be better for a newbie to the camera to use?
Thanks
Gary

Miloe,
That depends entirely on what you want to shoot.
If you want to shoot wideangle, then you want strobes with a wide pattern. For macro you don't need that, etc...
I use d DS125's for everything as they have a reasonable wide beam, and are small enough that I can easily use them for Macro too.
Cheers

Whoops, I guess a use would kinda effect the strobe choice.
For me a wider coverage would prob be best... less chance of the camera pointed left with the strobes pointed right. :freak:
thanks
