Another goodie I found under my dads bed (the other being a 38-76mm lens) and I'm quite concerned at the washed out exposures I've been getting. Is this flash too old for the camera or are there any special settings on the 20d that I've missed?

So that means that if you want to use this flash you'll need to set the camera on manual mode and set the proper aperture based on the flash-to-subject distance. ...Leo

You might also want to know that the wrong trigger voltage from the flash can kill your camera, so you should consider yourself lucky that you got away with it.

Dec 19, 2005 10:03 | #5 great, thanks for the information. It doesn't seem to matter what i set it to it's only acceptable at about f/22 which i don't want to use. Looks like I better start saving for a 430ex!
