The long range user trigger method needs the LC-1 and the winder A2.

Goods for nesting birds etc. But I think David wants a remote animal

trap type set-up. I identified some thievin varmints with the A1,

winder A2 and an IR security alarm from Radio Shack. All snugged up

in plastic baggies it worked fine.

Yes Jim, the 533G is a big potato masher type flash.GN of 36 @ ASA

100 in metres, about 108 in feet. No zoom, but light spreaders for

lenses 24-100mm tilt and swivel yes,six AA batteries, slow

synch/manual controls. 3 auto stops. I like its rugged construction

and simple layout, great for weddings etc. Let me know if you want

more.

I had the 28-70 Tamron for several years of heavy duty real estate

work. The glass is sharp and contrasty, but the zoom is lightwieght

material and did not stand up to day-in-day-out use. For general

amateur picture making it is a bargain and I sometimes wish I had one

now for weekend walkabouts. The Adaptall mount ataches to the camera

just as a 'new FD'. You should try to get a lenshood for this one, it

is prone to flare because it has big glass in a shallow short mount.
