Hi Pentaxians I just reread the list at btzilla.com and found that the Metz 20BC6 should be safe, hurray: Now I will glue some plastic over the flash reflector to weaken it as much as possible. I will report the results .....

Since I can not disable preflash with the integrated one I can not use it with my old slaves. I have a very small National PE120M but this brand seems to be on the dangerous high voltage side? The second smallest one would be a Konica X-20N and then the already bigger ones with the Metz 20BC6 or the Pentax AF200S. I would like to diffuse them as much as possible for only a tiny bit of frontal light output just enough to trigger the slave on the grip from left above. All of them are not listed at http://www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html and I'm lacking the skill to measure it myself. Any recommendation preferably among the mentioned flashes? thanks and greetings Markus -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
