Optical Flash Slave

[leightonjames]

Hi everyone,

I would like to experiment with off camera lighting and i have ordered myself a cheap as chips hot shoe optical flash slave. Now all i need is a cheap off camera flash, are their any recommendations or flashes that are very good off camera?

I hope what i have said makes sense as i am not too clued up on the theory!

Cheers

Leighton

I got a couple from Hong Kong. They have a dial on the front to make it easy to vary the power.
