Wow... What a surprise for me... I just tried syncing the x100 and a nikon sb800 using a pocket wizard. As I'm sure you know, that was a waste of time :-)

What do you think of the idea in the Zack Arias blog? Sounds like th whole shebang costs under $100.

What have you worked out?

Tom

I can get my X100 with PW Plus ii  (US versions) in the hotshoe to fire my SB800s  when I use them as a pair of PW Plus ii units.  I only have two of them.
Likewise my cameras Nikon and Fuji XPro1, XE1, X100 all work with the PW TT1 in the hotshoe and 3x PW TT5 controlling the flashes.  The PW TT1 and TT5 units are all CE/EU models so dont share the same frequency as the US versions.  Dont you just love standards.  Yes I should have not got US units but I did and a long time ago.

But I need to have a wireless trigger that will fire them all together.  Unfortunately I cant mix the PW Plus ii units with the TT1 and TT5 units, so I need to either replace my two PW Plus ii units with CE/EU versions of the same or get two more TT5 units.
