Yes
Looking at getting one but wanted to know if anyone's bought the 3rd party copies - are they as good for a third of the price? Any suggestions?
 
I would have said "yes", until I decided to try using mine with the D300 and SB-900 for a bit of CLS and it wouldn't work :shrug:

Planning to open it up at some point and see if it's just a broken wire, but I can see a genuine one in my future.
 
That's my fear - It's something I can see myself using a lot and suppose it may pay to buy Nikon. May even stretch to the SC-29 with the AF illuminator, even if it is £75 or so. Just got fed up with the unreliability of ebay triggers and I need something that'll compliment my SU-4 unit.
 
I'm always saying buy-cheap-buy-twice, so I'll be eating my own words :lol:

An SC-17 is basically the same as an SC-28, but with the older type locking foot. They turn up on Ebay for similar money to the HK copies...
 
anyone got any experience with canon ttl cable copies, no sense in buying genuine as I will be cutting it up as soon as I get it :P
 
meh, it'll be crap but it's foolhardy to hack up a good one, if I want a ttl cable I'll buy genuine if I want a pair of shoes and some wire I'll buy hk lol
