Tariq, I bought all the pieces to make this as well, the last I am waiting on is the optical slave.
It should be here in a week or two.
I am very, very interested in this setup; if it works it will broaden the NEX usefulness tremendously.
One thing I am not certain about though is the reason for the double flash. I tried it a number of times and the intensity of the two flash firings seems pretty even. How is the slave going to differentiate between them?
In the past, I had read about a number of somewhat convoluted ways to fire an external flash with the NEX, some requiring multiple odd parts. For this method, all you need is the optical slave I linked to (and, of course a sync cord for your external flash/ power pack/ etc.). What other parts did you have to buy?
This particular slave has the ability to adjust the delay before it activates whatever you attach/ plug into it. That way, it can be made to basically ignore the first flash.
