I have a 2-year-old 285HV, bought new from B&H for $80. Trusty ol' Fluke says: 7.9V. I don't know who feels safe or unsafe using it on Canon cameras, but I feel completely safe using it on my 10D, G5 and 1V and have done so many times. If I had a strobe with a 350V trigger voltage, I'd throw it in the trash, probably after smashing it to bits with a hammer. That shouldn't even be legal. --Ken S. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
