5600 HS(D) flash from Mass order

tokrot · 9th November 2005

Hi Guys,

Just wanna check with you guys who ordered from Oracle. Any prob encountered? Look like this batch of flash has no prob with D7D. I tried it with ADI mode. All exposure seems ok with A and TV mode. What's exact prob face by the earlier batch of flash prob? Inconsistence exposure? More to overexposure or underexposure? Can feedback your case with 5600 flash. Thanks.

Actually the problem lies in the camera, not in the flash

First batch of D7D having that problem

Not sure la. Something like first batch can do well with the flash, causing bad exposure. IceBerg might know something on it, try to pm him. IceBerg, sorry, if u can, help him lor. TIA!

U guys want to wait until PMA 2006 to find out if KM will launch a new flash?

Drudkh · 9th November 2005

i think the new flash will not be announced at PMA but the one later of the year with 9D among other new SSM lenses.

Not sure about that... if the 9D is launched at PMA 2006? They need something in the Cnon 5D territory to boost the image of the brand... what better than to have a new system with flash?

lol... BBTM... i don't own either 5600 or the D7D... I only know what I read on forums...
something like first batch of D7D have problem with the 5600, exposure metering or something. Read it on dpreview...

I think they solved it with the later batches... I think I am one of the few who got it fixed... mine is ok even after a body change...

I tested the flash on some of the frames on my film in my Dynax 7. So far so good. ADI is really accurate.

iceberg · 11th November 2005

i think the problem was only with first batch of D7D.. nothing wrong with the D7 film body.

Yeah, I thought the poster was asking about whether the Mass Order flash itself is working, not whether it works with which ever body...
