I've used a Sunpak 383 in the hot shoe without any problems. Fires the flash in manual and Av mode easily. Be sure the shutter speed is 1/180 sec or slower.

I would suspect a bad hot shoe adapter, I've had a lot of them that had problems. I would also recommend using a Wein Safe Sync to be on the safe side ...

Does anyone know how best to side-step the lack of a pc

because I would like to use the ist DS with a Novatron kit.
