Nikon F5 Flash Trigger

[ian in lancs]

Please can you help? I have a Nikon F5 that will trigger an SB-600 on the hotshoe and obviously on a cord. However, my Yungko (sp) wireless trigger doesn't fire the SB-600 or Bowens lights. It works fine on my D300s and a studio trigger I scrounged - elinchrom I think worked fine with the F5.

The contact pattern is identical between the cameras - I guess its the trigger but any ideas?

Thanks

Ian

Do the SB-600 and the Bowens have built in optical slaves?

Managed to sort this eventually - the trigger needs to be in exactly the right place in the hotshoe - It then works fine!
