Hi All
This is my first post. First of all I would like to say how much I have enjoyed veiwing this website, and the sheer wealth of knowledge there is on it, I am hoping to learn alot more about photography and this forum is perfect for me. Well done to the administrators and the users for making this website such a useful medium in learning photographic skills.
Anyway, sorry for going off course. I have recently purchased a Canon 400D (Rebel XTi) and i am hoping to use a Vivitar 283 flash on it, I got the flash from my dad and he bought it in the 70's so it is an early model, but i have read a lot about how EOS cameras and early models of the 283 dont mix well. I have been able to use the flash on my camera, but it doesent always work. I dont want to use the flash too much if it is going to break my camera.
Can anyone help me? I would love to be able to use the flash, as it is a great flash.
Is the Vivitar 283 safe to use on the Canon 400D?
Thanks for your help
