Convenient and Concise

"I needed something I could use for second shutter and long exposures besides an optical slave. Of the things I found this was the only unit that came close. Fortunately, with the MultiMax and a couple of Plus units I found my answer. It's expensive, but it's worth it. Besides, what decent camera gear isn't expensive?..." Read Full Review »
