I am using a Nikon D200 with 2 interfit flash heads (both with slave sensors) and want to avoid using sync leads. I have looked at both ir and radio triggers but am unsure as to which would be better.
The equipment will be used indoors in a small studio or home environment. Obviously, one flash will set the other off through the slave but what would be the best way to fire the first flash.
I want to avoid using the on camera flash as I may not want to fire direct light and need to avoid the pre-flash setting off the units.

any help would be much appreciated.
 
First flash should be fired by using sync cord and second will be fired using photocell... thats how my studio works... instead of wire you can use radio sync... you mount your remote in hotshoe of your camera and reciver is connectet fo one of your flashes... secon flash again fired by using photocell... Im not sure that D200 has direct sync outlet if not you need to buy Hot Shoe connector its about $10 on ebay than you mount your connector to your camera hot shoe and wire from connector is going to one of your flashes... second one fired by using photocell.... this is the simplest way to sync your studio lights....
