:?: Dear friends,
I’m the owner of a nikon coolpix 995 in a Ikelite housing #6177, using the Ikelite’s strobes DS 50 and DS 125,  a sinc cord Ikelite TTL and the sensor #4100.5.
The DS125 is a very recent acquisition, till now I used the DS50 connected through the sensor and a Nikonos SB105 as slave without connection, now, using the two DS strobes, wich strobe should be connected through the sync cord and wich through the sensor?
Furthermore, connected trough the cord is the TTL working correctly?
Waiting for the answer, thanks to all will reply
Antonio

Either the DS50 or DS125 will operate TTL when connected to the 995 Coolpix housing with a sync cord.  Either will provide TTL when attached to the Sensor.  Please understand that the Nikonos SB105 will operate as a slave, but can NOT do TTL as a slave.  It can only provide a full flash dump when in slave mode.  It must be attached with a sync cord to operate TTL.

Thanks to answer Ike,
i know that the Nikonos SB105 , of course, as a slave does not works TTL, I need to know , having a Ikelite sync cord and a slave sensor as I wrote in the precedent communication, wich strobe (DS50 or DS 125) should be connected through the sync cord and which through the slave sensor,
thanks a lot , my best regards,
Antonio

Either strobe is supposed to work properly connected to a cord or to the sensor.
