Trigger voltage of flash

alanswan · 27th November 2006

Anyone knows if what is the trigger voltage of the flash sold in http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?t=238937?

According to http://www.jr-worldwi.de/photo/index...rnalflash.html, the *ist DS is safe for up to 30V.
Any idea if it's the same for *ist DL?

TIA.

The link below doesn't list the EF 500ST but puts the EF 500 Super at 5.9V.

Yeah... I have that link in my bookmark.
That's the most comprehensive page, though it more geared towards Canon.

The only reason I'm interested in that sale is because of the flash.
But I'm not keen to spend the money just to find out that my *ist can't use it.
(I already have a flash that is listed on that page as having trigger voltage of 220V

)

fengwei's AF-360FGZ offer is damn tempting, but it can't swivel...

That Sigma flash isn't a P-TTL flash, it won't work well w/ your DL. It doesn't have high speed sync either (which you'd need for daylight fill-in flash). I wouldn't get that flash for a DL, unless you have a Ds (which works w/ TTL flash too.)

A DL/K100D or even K10D only works w/ a P-TTL flash

But my 360FGZ flash works perfectly with any Pentax dSLR

And great deal too

Good luck,
