Hello all, hope everyone had a good new year's eve and 2007 is going well for you so far!
A fairly specific question this. I was wondering if anyone has used the 'Safe Sync HS' by Wein. The 'Safe Sync' is a hotshoe voltage limiter which lets you use older flashes on new SLRs/dSLRs without causing a short. I have a couple of Vivitar and Cobra flashes which I used for film work and would also like to use on my dSLR (I'm putting off buying a new dedicated flash as I've already spent way too much on photographic gear lately) so this looks like it could be just what I need. So I guess my questions are, has anyone used one of these, or another product that performs the same job, or have any experience with Wein products in general?
Couple of Google links for reference...
