It depends on how you look at it bro..

Sure, the trigger itself looks expensive. But think about it, being able to calibrate ANY vintage manual TTL flash that has at least 2 power steps, frees up your money.

Eg:

Main flash - Metz 52 ($300?)
3 vintage flash of ANY brand - 3x AF200T ($100 or lesser?)

Total - $400? or lesser + $150 (triggers) = $550 or lesser.

Now, do that the sum again with other manual 3rd party flash that allows more steps for manual power.
See the strength? The off shoe flash is not limited to a single brand or the latest and greatest.

Maybe the main flash is important because you never know when you need pTTL..
But otherwise, the rest of the flashes you can just use and throw or hunt for bargain vintage flashes, which has at least 2 steps of manual power, using off shoe, needn't have tilt and swivel.

Willing to get 2 and a yongnuo mark 3 if supports, can use to learn strobe and can be used for macro

Yea... I'm tempted too.. Since the V6 is available locally, I wonder if we could test it out to ensure that it really works as advertised! I can imagine prices of vintage flashes gonna shoot up. LoL!

I would rather carry 3x AF200T over 3x Yongnuo any day!

Go check out the size bro.. 1 yongnuo = 2 AF200T. And then price of 1 yongnuo = 3 to 4 AF200T.. LoL!

Not getting it yet. I think I would go down and test that the backward compatibility with proper calibration works with vintage flashes first.

I've don't like legacy or 2nd hand flashes. Bad experience. Cheap is cheap but who knows where it's been and how extensively it's been used?

I bought 2 x 200t before to use with radio triggers. Only 1 is still working. Waste of time and $$$.

Been there, done that. Bottom line: it may not last so keep your fingers crossed. Bring out for shoot the thing kaput on u halfway is damn sian lor!

Imagine lug all the way outdoor for macro shoot, mount tripod, set up flash on flash mount, position, put diffuser, MF, press shutter, *poof*... Knn ccb... Flash spoil, never fire.

Get new metz 20c2 better lah. Cost more but small, can tilt, use 2 AA battery only. Most importantly, warranty and better reliability.
