Follow up to "A digital camera for above and below !"

Sorry, I do not know how to reply directly to posts > 1 month old.

Randall wrote on April 2 (quoted below) about the Sunpak G-Flash
strobe which he was going to use with his Canon A80. How did this
work out in FL? Any photos to show? I am considering buying this
identical setup to replace my Sea and Sea MM II Ex and to supplement
my Nikon 990 for land shots.

Thanks,
LK.
