Can the Nikon SB-23 flash be used off camera?

[Naboo32]

I have an SB-23 flash gun, which I wish to use off-camera, with my F100. Tests with my SC-28 (copy) cable have proved that it is not compatible with either the flash, or the camera, or both :|.

Is there an older cable which will work between the SB-23 and the F100 and give me TTL metering :shrug:!?

Thanks in advance .

With TTL I think Skyports/ Pocketwizards might be the solution?

Without TTL maybe just the FITP wireless triggers?

No TTL !? This is film, so I don't have the luxury of viewing the screen and adding or subtracting a few EVs.

F it, I'll just leave the flash on the hot shoe and go all 'party pix' on myself .

Thanks for the answer .

Ahh I see, then just get some FITP wireless triggers that'll get the flash off camera

I have one actually (bought fro Graham himself, no less ), but won't it just leave me pondering the output power of the flash myself :shrug:!?

I enjoy taking pictures a lot more than I enjoy rocket science, so I was hoping to find a solution that would depend on the camera's 'brain' instead of mine :|.

Anyway, I appreciate the suggestion Jamie .
