I dont see how the Pocket Wizards are anymore proprietary than Paul C. Buff Inc's system... but today compared to Buffs wireless products they are rather pricey (it wasnt the case when I first bought into PW, they where WAY ahead of there time)
I wish Sekonic would see the potential profit in making a chip for Buffs receivers (everywhere I look I see Bee's now :) ) but I guess they are more afraid loosing even more ground in the wireless front (even less PW sales)
My question is, would it be possible (and legal) for Paul Buff Inc to make a trigger chip that will fit in back of Sekonic meters? I for one would easily spend $100 on it.
As much as I want to switch to Buffs triggers and receivers (Even more with the Einstein's due out soon) I cant see loosing the trigger/meter system I use now.
None of the wireless triggers are code-compatible - PW, Skyport, Poverty Wizards, Profoto Air, etc.
If you're contemplating Einstein and Cyber Commander, the Seconic will become dead weight 99% of the time. CC not only meters and groups 16 separate lights, it displays all meter readings and allows you to adjust individual lights and bracket ALL or a group at a time directly in f stops without re- metering.
