Very interesting. I didn't know they supported the Meikon cases. Quite a comprehensive list of products.

They mention optical and electrical TTL for the Meikon case. Does that mean they replace the single Meikon sync cable connector with one that has a window and/or pin connections? Can they handle two-strobe operation with the optical connector? We may have to wait to see what they provide for the a7RII and Meikon case, but I would like to know before I order Retra strobes, which I assume will work with their converter.

No idea, but you can message Pavel Kolpakov over at Wetpixel; he's the guy behind UW-Technics. He did mention that Retra strobe TTL profile will be added to converter firmware when the strobes hit the market, although flashing the update will require sending the board back to the manufacturer.

I got this reply from UW-Technics and it sounds good.

"Yes, we plan to include Retra TTL-profile into our firmware. We have an agreement with Retra company. All TTL-Converters for Meikon support 2 strobes.
Sony-TTL version will be ready in few months. Currently it is not available yet.
We will inform you when Sony TTL boards are ready as serial production."
