Hammerhead question(s)

Hi there,

Just a couple of questions relating to a flash unit that I picked up for a reasonable price last week. It's an Osram S-440 (I think that's the right model number, though I haven't got it with me at the moment), & it seems to be pretty powerful & quite versatile. (As an aside, it used to belong to a wedding photographer who used it with a Pentax 67, which he was also selling. It's the first time I've seen one of them in the flesh, & blimey, they're massive! But, what surprised me even more was how well balanced it was when I picked it up...)

Anyway, back to the flash - it should do TTL with a dedicated module, but I've not had any luck trying to confirm this on the internet. The guy in the shop reckoned it was compatible with the Metz dedicated modules, which should be easy enough to get hold of. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Secondly, back to the voltage issue. The camera shop man measured the voltage at 11v. I'll initially be using it with a Z-1p, but am I right in thinking that this trigger voltage should be fine with a digital body?

Thanks for any help with these questions,

Jonathan

11 volt trigger voltage is fine. Sorry I know nothing more about your flash.

Thanks for your help anyway, Peter. It's nice to have confirmation that 11v will be fine for a Pentax digital.
