About the Flash voltage problem, Lumedyne makes a thing called the Lumedyne sync filter , part # 088. This is to keep you from frying your camera with external strobes. I use White Lightning Ultra strobes for my location lighting and White Lightning reccomended this thing. I have both the old heads tripping at a whopping 120 volts and the newer ones at 25 volts. Thank Goodness I was using one of the new heads Tuesday!!! Lumedyne's # is (813) 847-5394. It is probably a good investment to protect a $2,000+ camera. Of course if you use a Radio Slave you don't have to worry about the flash voltage thing, or so I've been told. Harrison McClary http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto
