Hi All
I wonder if anyone can help please -
I'm going to shoot on a motorsport event, some of which will be in the dark or there about. I have all Nikon kit and have no trouble, but am taking two enthusiasts who have Canon kit but no off camera flash, just the built in flash which will be little use. I have a spare Nikon SB800 - so
1) is there an inexpensive adapter which can be bought and used to match the Nikon flash to a Canon camera, please and
2) I have an old flash gun - "Cobra Auto 250" which is still working but never used and wondered if this can be used by one of the Canon users? There used to be stories of modern cameras being zapped by too high voltages from old flash guns. Is there a way of knowing for sure if this will be OK? Maybe an inexpensive isolating interface?
Thanks for any / all help
Regards
Rob
 
Hi Ingrid
Many thanks for your reply. The chart certainly reference the flash gun and clearly says that it is NOT compatible with Canon cameras.
I now need to find another solution, but appreciate your help in keeping the camera safe.
Regards
Rob
