GarethC Posted October 31, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 31, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've read the trheads but can't seem to find the categorical answer to one question. I have a Canon 220EX but can't for the life of me find my Wein safe sync. Can I mount the 220EX and not fry anything in the M8 or do I run a risk? If it works fine then I can go from there and chimp to my heart's content to get it right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

giordano Posted October 31, 2007 Share #2 Posted October 31, 2007 Hi Gareth, Maybe Photo Strobe Trigger Voltages has the information. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thai.charlie Posted November 1, 2007 Share #3 Posted November 1, 2007 How would the 220EX work beyond outputting full power everytime (which in theory, CAN work for your M8 but you'd have to stop your Leica lens down depending on how far your subject was to you)? Unless that is what you are looking to do. This works TTL only for Canon EOS, as far as my experience with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thai.charlie Posted November 1, 2007 Share #4 Posted November 1, 2007 Did some product searches for you, in the 220ex form factor... The Metz 20-c2. This is an Auto flash with two working apertures (2.8 and 5.6) and it takes 2 batteries. So recycle may not be fast (try NiMH batteries) but it is small and cheap. I've never used it but specs say it tilts. Here's the LINK . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethC Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted November 1, 2007 I just need to know that it won't fry any electronics, after that I can adjust shutter speed and aperture to shoot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thai.charlie Posted November 1, 2007 Share #6 Posted November 1, 2007 OK, you probably have seen this since you posted in this THREAD and upon looking at the above link for strobe trigger voltages, the 220ex has the same trigger voltage as the 550ex as reported by Olsen in that thread (less than 6v). Following that logic I think you are OK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
