Great thanks.

The Helios looks good on the XT-1 I think it's only a matter of time before my cash and I are parted. Which adapter did you go for and is it a good fit?

Spent yesterday photographing Dodgeball in a sports hall, ditched RAW and shot at ISO12,800. Something I would never have considered on my Canon 60D. Amazed at how little noise there is at these settings. The X-T1 coped really well with a fast moving game. Here's a couple from the day...

Ok thanks both. Think I have the adapter already so may look at another mf lens.

Hi, is the Helios an M42 mount lens? And I'm assuming that ebay is my friend here. Apologies if I missed the info earlier I'm using my phone, so going back through the thread is a bit time consuming :-)

Yes all works. Wondering if I need to be really precise with mounting or if asking it to communicate with the 560III and a flash on a 603 controller was all to much!

Well I don't know what I did or how I did it, but I now have a working 560tx. Only thing I did was turn forced flash off and then on again, mounted the unit (back to front by accident but neither camera or unit were turned on). Turned everything on and boom flash fired.

Thanks not solved it yet, been out. Will play again over the weekend. Might ask you to delve into the X-T1 settings at some point if you don't mind.

Thanks that would be helpful.

Yep been there :-( It's very frustrating. Think I may have to admit defeat

Yep also fires the Yungnuo when it's mounted too which I don't understand

No problem Fans thanks for responding. Looks like there maybe a problem with the X-T1.

ah ok, so on the 560-III (the flash head) pressing the mode button gives you M & Multi. Pressing the button to the right of mode ( sort of z and a wifi symbol) toggles through to slave modes S1 & S2 and a wireless Rx mode. This is the mode I have set so on the left side of the display I have M...

so I have the 560-III in M rx mode to be able to control it from the tx. Should I not be in RX and if not how do I get the 560tx to talk to it?

Will double check, thanks Fabs
