Greetings: Loving my Einstein, have used it several times with no problems. But today, all of a sudden it stopped working via Optical Slave. My SB800 is triggering the Einstein but just not syncing, although it works perfectly with the sync cable. Shutter speed is well below 250s. My setup is: TT5 on SB800 MiniTT1 on D300 Einstein Optical Slave (PW MC2 on its way) Also checked PW, and the FW is up to date. Ill have my hand ready to slap me silly when it turns out to be something simple! |

Probably due to the preflash of the Sb800. It may have previously worked due to manually setting the SB, or if the einstein was at a low enough power, it may have been able to fire twice, the second time in sync. At a higher power it may not have had time to recycle. Or....the slave eye is off. |
