Questions & Answers

ROGER Y : I have a Nikon D5000 and SB600 flash. I also own 285 that I'd like to use at the same time. there a cord I can buy to make the 285 sync with the sb600?FARREL F : don't know about a cord--I use an optical slaveTONY I : To: Roger, Try the Wein Hot shoe slave adapter, it is a wireless way to trigger the second flash. Adorama sku is WHNSX or mfr #940040. I could not find a pc cord in Nikon nor Vivitar Flash accessories. Hope this Helps.
ephrem e : Is this flash compatible safely with a Canon 50D please ? thxFARREL F : Yes--It has a low voltage trigger circuit. I use mine on an olympus 420, but it wont work consistantly on auto-set aperture manually. keep shooting FarrelAMY C : I would think it would be fine, however, you might want to do more research. I use it with a Nikon D90 without problems. Sorry this probably doesn't really answer your question. Check the Vivatar site for specs or PopPhoto had a review on this unit as wellDALE C : Yes. I've used the on all my Canon camera's on the hit shoe (rebel xti, 5d2). Just remember no ttl info from camera. You'll have to manually set flash.PHILIP S : Not sure of the official answer (I'd spend some time googling to be sure), but I did use my vivitar with my 50D when I had it and never had a problem
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?KEITH F : One of the best adjustable power flashes in this price range. Flash is a tank.
