reubencahn 2 Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) I'm having an impossible time getting my Sea & Sea ttl converter to work. This is the new YS Converter /N that allows you to use different types of strobes with the same converter. My setup is as follows: D200 with flash set to ttl, front curtain synch, no redeye reduction, modeling light off. Using manual, 1/100, f16, release priority Subal ND20 housing with circuit board set as described on Reef's website, i.e., cable is connected to five pin male connection. http://www.reefphoto.com/tt/index.php?acti...&article=22 YS Converter /N: have tried setting to A,B,C and D with no luck Z-240 strobe set as described on Reef's site. The left hand dial is set to "S-TTL" and the right hand dial is set to "TTL" Have tried setting Advance Cancel Circuitry both on and off. Everything is connected properly but camera shutter will not release if the converter is turned on. If the converter is off, the shutter will release and the strobes will fire if they are on. I've tried turning the components on in different orders. I've tried changing the strobe settings but I can't get this to work. What am I doing wrong? Please help!!!!

reubencahn 2 Posted June 1, 2009 So, new piece of data. I had the converter connected to the right hand bulkhead. After trying everything else I could think of, I moved the converter to the left hand bulkhead. Voila, the shutter releases and the strobe fires. Moved the camera back and forth to test at different distances and ttl seems to be working (with a - 1 ev compensation). So now my question would be, is the left bulkhead on Subal housings a primary that must be connected before the right or is there some problem with the housing?

jcclink 8 Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) My Nexus did similar things when I tried the original version of the converter. While the 2 bulkheads may be physically identical, the hot shoe adapter attached to the camera seems to be wired in such a way as to make 1 bulkhead PRIMARY & the other SECONDARY. So as you've discovered it DOES make a difference how things are connected. Don't you just luv plug & play?? Edited June 1, 2009 by jcclink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
