onokai 20 Posted July 8, 2011 I'm looking to get a d300 subal housing (1st digital housing for me after 5 film housings) setup and am wondering if I need new strobes as well. I have 2 older ike 125 strobes -pre digital versions-will they work-if not can ike remodel them or do I need to start fresh? Thanks for any info Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viz'art 24 Posted July 8, 2011 They will work in Manual but might be too vintage for updating to their TTL converter compliance, they have a notice concerning this compatibility just check your serial number with this list or shoot them an e-mail with the strobes serial number, if you don't care about TTL, many here don't, then they are ready to go, the Subal typically comes with Nikonos type connectors, so you might have to get sync cords if yours is from an Ikelite housing. As a side notes, current battery pack for the DS160/161 are the same, but are now NiMH, so if you get new battery packs, check to make sure your current charger can handle them.

onokai 20 Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the feedback-I called Ike and sent my strobes and chargers in for upgrade to 160-they send me new strobes and chargers for a set fee. This will be my 4th set of Ike strobes-started with them in the 80s with 4 -150 strobes moved up to 4-200s then these 125 now the 160s-There service is great Still have some working oceanic blue strobes and a bunch of smaller SR strobes Mark Edited July 9, 2011 by onokai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
