Hi,
I wrote a while back about a Toshiba flash i had been loaned for use as an off-camera flash - NOT connected to the camera in any physical way - using an optical trigger. It worked lovely, when I'd figured the settings.
Well, I had to give that one back, but I did pick up a Sunpak Auto Zoom 3000 for a few pence. It works, and it works with the optical trigger, too. My question is that I want to get a better trigger system for this. My Canon 400d gives of focal-assist flashes (I think!) which can trigger the flash guns. Would I be better getting Infra red (?) triggers? If so, would anyone recomend a set with the camera sender and TWO triggers (I may be able to get the toshiba back )? I have V. Little money, so a cheap but reliable option - I am a little confused when I look on eBay as to the best buy.
Thanks
