Hi,
Does anyone know if the Canon 20D and Vivitar 285 flash are compatible via a PC cord connection. Will the 20D get fried? Thanks W

I use the 20D/285HV combo with no problems. But....you still need to head
to the web site below to determine how hold your 285 is. The older versions and the 283's are NOT compatible with the 20D. "TheNewsGuy(Mike)" wrote in message ...

20D and Vivitar 285 flash compatible via PC cord?
Folks,
Thanks. I checked the website and it seemed to indicate that the 285HV is ok. I also measured the voltage as per instructions and it only measured 8 VDC way under the 250V limit of the 20D. So I guess I'm good. W Ed Velez wrote: I use the 20D/285HV combo with no problems. But....you still need to head to the web site below to determine how hold your 285 is.
