Re: Newbie Help - Studio Flash and hotshoes

Hi Everyone Thanks for all the replys, I think on reflection Alain is right, the camera gives very good images and the problems with studio flash are more of an inconvenience rather than a major problem.

Re: Newbie Help - Studio Flash and hotshoes

Thanks for all your advice, I think I am going to have to go with something like the Wein (I appreciate some of the HK compatibles claim voltage protection, I just can't find anyone who has checked one) Partly, thanks to Javelins strobe voltage list, I checked out the voltage for some of the Metz 45...

Hi Javelin

Thanks for your response, I have checked the list the exact model I have isn't listed its an old Courteney set of heads. The model they do list suggests 17.5v with the suggestion "your call" .
