One thing nobody has mentioned is the trigger voltage of the Vivitar 285HV. I just want to make sure that the voltage is low enough for your camera. This might be a moot point, but I thought I'd bring it up just in case. I don't want you to fry your camera :-) --M. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- http://www.EnticingTheLight.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
