This one I bought off ebay. The same week I bought a kit from a guy on
photo.net. Talk about differences. The second kit came with, literally, a
box full of accessories, all 'new in box'. We're talking a dozen TTL cords
from 0.3m to 5m. 4 shoes. 6 TTL autoconnectors. Three TTL Mulitconnecters.
You get the idea. In the end, I figured out that the unexpected accessories
were worth over $600.
The week ended up working out ok.....
