I have been using the cheap triggers from ebay for a while, I have just bought a new set of PT-04CN, the type i bought also have a holder for a umbrella.

the old type I have were OK but not as good as the newer type, but I must say that both of them are'nt very robust so if used a lot won't last long, 6 months to a year and they become less reliable.

the PT-04 trigers work with the af540 and mine all sync to 180/s but my sigma 530super(I think thats right) will only sync to 125/s, not sure why.
I think any of them are worth the money but don't expect good range with them, 10m max
so far my pt-04's are 100% reliable but give it 3 months and I'm sure that will change

before you buy any thing I would recomend you check out these site's
www.studiolighting.net

strobist is a great site for learning about off camera flash
http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/03/lighting-101.html
this section should help you a lot.
do you have any flashes at the moment?

I spoke to my local small camera shop owner, he told me how he loved the k100d and made a lot of money from it but just doesn't get the reps down enough to us them.
He is a older chap and isn't one for selling on line so won't be using them until they get more than 2 reps for the UK.
I'm not sure how true this is so please don't bite my head of, but two reps for the UK does seem a little low, all tough times are changing and all of my cameras have been purchased over the net, it's just cheaper.
I should also add there are a couple shops in Exeter that manage to carry stock

Am I correct in thinking that a 100mm lens will have a smaller DOF than a 50mm at the same aperture, also something to consider.
I have a cosina 100mm af 3.5 its very poorly made but not a bad buy for £35.

I'm in Tiverton, would love to meet up for a few hours.
allways nice to talk to friendly photogs.

amoringello I think that you may of found the problem I'm having, all tough my triggers aren't cactus they look identical and the V2's were just coming out when i bought the v1's.
Do you now the frequency is on the V2's my triggers are on 433mhz, hopefully i can mix the two up.

I would love to upgrade Don, but work is looking bleak so I'll have to keep making excuses for retaking shots when the flashes don't fire.
I think I would have a look at both the bowens pulsar and the skyports if I had the money.

Thanks for your help Don but I still haven't found the problem, though I feel I,m getting closer.
I have found that the transmitter will fire the flash using a sync cable to the hotshoe adapter, wich means the contacts are all ok. it also will give me a 3 flash setup I was after in manual mode.

But as for using the triggers to fire the 540 I'm stumped, I tryed reversing the polarity using bared wires from a sync cable onto the flash shoe and then the adapter sync cable plug with no luck.
I did however make it flash when the bare wire touched while they were on the correct points of the flash shoe so I am now assuming that all is needed is a connection to be made between the to wires making a circit(hope this makes sens). The thing I really can't understand is why the transmitter will fire the flash from it's small battery's it came with and the supposed higher power receiver can't fire it

I think my only option is to try a different set of radio triggers when i have some spare cash wich could be a while.

so back to my question does anybody use there 540 with a radio trigger that works?
Thanks Peter
