For the film shooters migrating to digital, here's an option that
may help reduce you initial outlay. Subaquatic Camera
will retrofit the Nikon SB-105 with an optical fiber and add the
housing
mounts for it. The cost is around $130 for the operation including all
parts and labor,
which is just slightly more than the fiber and mounting costs of
current digital
strobes. There are two major drawback to this setup. One, the SB-105
have
no pre-flash canceling circuit, and will only work with a camera that
can
fire a flash trigger without a pre-flash like the Olympus 5050. Also,
this
strobe only has full, 1/4 and 1/16 power settings and will
require
changing strobe positions to fine tune exposure.
