Oh! Well done!

Oh, George!

You do go on and on.........

The Spotmatics all had a PC comnnection. The First spotmatics did not have a flash shoe on top of the prism. They sold an optional shoe that cliped on to the eyepiece frame.

I've had great luck with any flash with a PC cord. There were many good ones from Vivitar - even Sears.

To make life easy, find ones with thyristors (sp?). They work a treat and eliminate all that pesky measuring and guide number figgerin'.

Have fun.

Nice Work!

Hi Everyone,

Is there a universal code on these cards to indicate speed?

I'm hearing horror stories about nearly full cards really slowing down how quickly the camera will fire after the shutter is pressed.

Thanks!

Thanks Guys,

I KNEW there'd be a solution here!

Have a great day/evening.

Hi All!

Just a bit more on the topic of non TTL flashes on the new DSLR's.

One thing I used to love was to mount my flash on an L shaped flash bracket so that the light source was higher and to the side of the lens.

No red eye, and pleasing shadow - which added some depth to the shot.

I don't think the DSLRs even have a simple PC connection any more, and the newer flashes don't have the wire. I have a bunch of older manual and auto flashes which I won't easily be able to use unless there is a hot shoe adapter with a female PC connection of some sort?

Come to think of it, a lot of the more recent film cameras suffer the same lack. (Ever since TTL flash?)

Pentax retained backward compatibility with it's lenses. Did they ever make a wired PC flash unit?

There's my grump for the day.....

Cheers!

Pete,

That's probably the most relaxed she's looked so far!

Natural and well cropped.

Clear with great colour.

Bravo

Barry,

We've had our fun with you over this.

Congratulations on your purchase. It's clearly something you've wanted for a while, and I'm glad you've finally got it.

Just don't jump ship and go over to the dark side (other forum).

I'd be interested in any comparisons between the two - each being in the top ends of their respective breeds.

Cheers!

Your shots are out-of-focus and have a blue tinge.

Did you take them with your Cannon :
