I can only urge you to read through these two threads:
http://www.dynaxdigital.com/lighting-flashes-strobes-and-studio-gear/triggering-flashes-wirelessly-use-any-hotshoe-flash-to-tigger-any-other-flash!/

and:

http://www.dynaxdigital.com/lighting-flashes-strobes-and-studio-gear/more-annoying-flash-questions/

Try to "digest" the info and I hope a lot will become much clearer!
All the best
Stef.

I will, thank you Stef, You are also very very helpful. I respect you guys's knowledge. I need to clear my head a little, I got way to much information today and without actually seeing the whole thing coming together my head is a messy chamber.
Now one more thing. Fother says that this thing will make the 36 fire just because it has this sensor. It is basically the same as the receivers in the wireless trigger kit BUT the are not triggered by the radio signal, ONLY the light they see flashing. So if I buy these, I can have the 2 36s fired by the on board flash OR by the strobe flashes OR by the Sunpak 522 connected to my camera with the pc cord and the Minolta PTC-100. Wow, I actually see some sense in it now. Tomorrow I'll read both the threads nicely and slowly, trying to understand everything. My first language is not English (it'sHungarian) so after a while it is hard to understand everything:)) THANKS!!!

Yes, that's correct. Pretty good for a cheap little add-on!

(by the way, Stef isn't just helpful too - she's far far far more knowledgeable than I am, and better at explaining what she knows ;))
