D60 Flash Compatibility

[tamash]

Hi All,

As a new owner of a D60 (though a long time EOS system user), I have found that the D60 plays well with my 380EX speedlite, but does not fire my Canon ML-3 ringlite (an older ringlite matched to the 100/2.8 macro) nor my Sunpak flash (in either TTL or manual mode).

Do any of you know whether these flash units (the ring light in particular) are compatible? I have not yet found any information which speaks directly to this.

Thanks in advance,
Bill Tamashunas

Thanks, Hawkeye ... very helpful list.
Now for the follow-on question:

Several strobes (such as the ML-3) are listed as being
safe, though the comment notes that they won't fire.
Do you know if this can be addressed using some type of camera hotshoe adapter?

Regards,
Bill
