Wotan C 250 Studio Flash

[Mike Jackson]

Anyone know anything about them/got access to manuals etc. Got one with my new (to me) film camera and I don't know useful it's going to be.

I have a Wotan V250 don't know how similar they are? One thing I will say however is don't use it on anything even vaguely modern, the flash trigger voltage can fry the circuits of modern cameras. IIRC the V250 triggers at 220v, my EOS300D for example needs only 6!

Although its for a Nissin, they operate in a very similar way so should give you a rough idea of were to start.

HTH.
