I've done a little reading on this, but would rather be put right by those in the know!!
I've bought a Sunpak 30DX to use for off camera flash, I haven't got it yet so haven't measured the trigger voltage, but either way I gather that something like Cactus V2s or V4 transmitter/receiver kit would do the job for wireless stuff?
But, if I wanted to use the flash on camera (I think it's a Pentax module on the flash, I use a Canon 20D), to get it to trigger and also be safe for the 20D, would I have to use a hotshoe to PC sync adaptor?
Are there any wireless options where the transmitter also has a hotshoe mount and PC sync socket so I could use the flash on camera that way?
Oh, one other thing, I have read that the 422D has an auto off feature (30DX is same so I assume this has it too), but will be woken up by a radio transmitter, but not an optical one (not sure why). The CTR-301 receivers are optical right? Are the cactus's radio or optical?
