Hi all!
I have resurected an old Vivitar 2800 flash from my parents old camera kit.
I am hoping to use it on a light stand with an umbrella.
Can anyone tell me if it is worth while to use this flash? The manual says it has a PC port, but it is not the style I have seen. It looks like it may take a mini jack. Can anyone tell me what should be used?
I plan to use it with some cactus triggers that I am going to buy with some Christmas money.
I know this flash is too high a voltage to put on the hotshoe, so I have to use the PC connection. I am just hoping I can figure out what kind of connection it is. If not I will have to spring for a HOtshoe to PC adapter, but if I can save some money I am all for it.
Thanks
