Is It Safe Using Sunpak Auto 611 Flash with a 20D?
Hello, I have a Powerful grip flash, the Sunpak Auto 611, which I would like to use with my 20D body. My research indicates a distinct voltage danger when many old flashes are synched via the PC socket, but this flash synches on the HOT SHOE via a corded ‘Auto Sensor Module’. I am not finding any information about issues to watch out for regarding ‘Old Flashes’ on Hot Shoes and EOS cameras. I don’t have a decent backup to my 20D at the moment otherwise I’d just slap the flash on and TRY it. I seem to recall successfully shooting a lot of images with the Sunpak on my DCS-520 (An EOS-1n to dSLR Conversion by Kodak). This was a few years ago. Would experiments with this camera extrapolate to my 20D on a reasonable basis? I definitely and distinctly want to be shooting with a modern ‘EX’ flash and not an Antique! But earning the money to buy one would be exceptionally easier if I can lean on this Powerful work horse for the moment.
