Have you received your test unit yet?

I have also been in contact with Pavel and he will be making a converter for my Seafrogs NG case with A7RII, but no word as yet as to delivery date.

I have, and in initial tests in air, it appears to be working well, although I haven't yet had a chance to take it underwater. My primary concern had been that the ST-100 sensors wouldn't be sensitive enough to get triggered by LEDs, but this appears to have been unfounded - both pre-flash and main flash fire correctly. I was going to wait for the Retras to arrive before I take it diving, but they have just been delayed again - this time to January - so I think I'll take a weekend trip to Eilat in a couple weeks and give it a spin. There are some fit issues, but nothing that prevents operation.
