Make sure you get the polarity correct. While the power socket SHOULD be reverse polarity protected it may not be. >3 Amps (3000mA) sounds *very* generous. I'll bet it doesn't require >anywhere near that much (it would kill batteries in no time if it >actually drew that much current). It needs to supply bursts of current. CF cards are touchy to loss of power when they are being written to. How much current to you need to write to the CF card, show a preview image on the LCD, hold the shutter open for 30 seconds and charge the flash all at the same time? When dealing with quality equipment, you don't skimp on the power supply. I do agree with you though that it seems a bit excessive. Leon http://www.bluering.org.au http://www.bluering.org.au/leon
