There have been some electronic boxes sold to slave, via photocell, TTL flashes
that
quench when the master quenches, no wires necessary, and naturally, not tied to
any master flash, though it helps if the flash durations are similar. (If the
master flash
is shorter than the slave, the slave will always shut off without a full flash)
Alas, I think they can only signal Nikon, Canon, Ikelite, Inon, or other
specialty flash
units, - not Olympus - eg,

Anyone know of an Olympus TTL photocell slave?
