I am currently using a FL-20 with pfl-01 on my c-5060 with TTL cable. I would like more light output.

Does anyone know if there is another, larger, electronically-compatible TTL strobe that would work with the pfl-01 cable?

Yes, the ikelites work great, and do TTL with the 5060. The DS-50, or DS-125 are the 2 models of interest to you.

Wow, that is great news for me!

Before I dash out and buy one, Here is what I want to do:

pt-020 housing with C-5060:

I have the cable that connects the camera hotshoe to the bulkhead connector on the housing. Then, I have the OLYMPUS cable that connects to the housing bulkhead.

So, this Olympus cable will plug directly into the DS50 or 125 and be TTL compatible?

TNX for the check.

No!

Look at the picture "Nikonos socket with TTL converter" - that's what you buy.

Then you attach one of the many compatible TTL strobes using a cable with a Nikonos connector at the housing end.
