Its digital electronics make it fully compatible with digital cameras as well as traditional film cameras such as the Nikonos. The strobe can easily switch between TTL/Auto and any of the six (6) manual power settings for complete control over lighting the subject. The DS51'sintensity and angle of coverage make it equally suited for macro and general photography.

Comments about Ikelite Ikelite Substrobe DS-51 / TTL Sync Cord / Flex Arm Package for Ikelite Housings:
Works beautifully with my Panasonic LX5. The hardwired TTL sync is a great improvement over a slave-sensor strobe. I have just used it for macro and close-ups yet, due to lousy vis in the Mexican Pacific but worked faultlessly. Ikelite is the best baslance between price and functionality. Not as cooly finished as other brands but trusty to a fault.
