Hi
I have a Oly C750 and I'm geting a housing the next thing is strobes.
I have seen the Epoque ES150DS but obviously dont know if its any good.
there is a package on offer with the strobe,fibre optic cable 10bar short flexy arm & slot tray 2x cost £250 again is this good.
The other thing is in Macro mode the flash dosen't work so a slave obviously wouldn't work are there any other options?
Please be gentle with your answers and remember you are talking to a u/w photo numpty so nothing too technical.

<font color='#0000FF'>From what I have picked up the Epoque 150 is pretty basic. &nbsp;The Sea &amp; Sea YS 25 is a better option and then the YS 90 would be top I guess. &nbsp;The Sea &amp; Sea strobes work with cameras that use a pre flash I don't think the Epoque does. &nbsp;That said if you can change your flash settings to a single flash then that is less of an issue. &nbsp;Another consideration is what will you be using in the future. &nbsp;More spent now might be saved later when you upgrade your camera.
