[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 200627, member: 12496"] I think that too, manuals too. I don't think it is a translation issue, they just seem to avoid actually saying the right words that would explain. Seems to me that features often solve problems, and they don't want to mention any problems. :) For example, FV Lock solves the horrible blinking issue with the commander TTL, but they are not going to mention any blinking problem. :) Nikon info seemed better in the old days, but I guess times were simpler. :) The old SC-17 cable is not any issue, it still works fine with no issues. I have two of them, and never bothered to buy the newer SC-28, seemed no point. And the new one is surely good too, but again, the only difference is the new rotating lever pin lock on the new ones. And probably the new PVC cable cover contains no lead, sales banned in California now. These are just "hot shoe extension cords", just five wires with connectors. The pin lock on the flash unit is spring loaded, so we can simply drop the pin anyway, onto the SC-17, and it will bind and hold fast, the flash can't go anywhere. This will not hurt the pin any. Maybe if you yanked the flash out of it by strong force, but which would be tough on the new one too. [/QUOTE]
