This one I bought off ebay.  The same week I bought a kit from a guy on
photo.net.  Talk about differences. The second kit came with, literally, a
box full of accessories, all 'new in box'.  We're talking a dozen TTL cords
from 0.3m to 5m.  4 shoes. 6 TTL autoconnectors.  Three TTL Mulitconnecters.
You get the idea.  In the end, I figured out that the unexpected accessories
were worth over $600.

The week ended up working out ok.....
