"If you're not having fun, your pictures will reflect that.The Sunpak 620-765 Tripod Case is an unpadded 24" long zippered tripod case with a padded shoulder strap.
The economy models often lack features like manual mode, but work fine on the hotshoe in E-TTL mode. I don't know about UK pricing, but there are aftermarket E-TTL compatible flash units starting at around $150 US. These aren't dedicated units but they do have an auto mode that will work fine.
Two popular units are the Sunpak 383 and the Vivitar 285HV. For more dynamic situations it's tough.īefore you invest in the Safe Sync, you might want to price an automatic flash that has a safe trigger voltage. Manual flash is fine when you have time to set it up and make adjustments. Judging by the price of other units out there that are compatible with the eos I think I will have to live with the drawbacks of the manual system.

It is likely that the 350D will not recognize that flash. EOS Digital cameras use an entirely different system. However, my best guess is that flash is a dedicated unit designed for film cameras (the "auto zoom" name leads me to this assumption). The Safe-Sync unit that you describe should fire the flash. The documentation on maximum trigger voltage for the 350D is ambiguous, so my recommendation for the Wein Safe Sync "just to be on the safe side". The damage caused to modern cameras by high voltage flash units can sometimes be cumulative, such that long term use eventually fries the camera circuitry. Modern cameras do this electronically and have various voltage tolerances. In the old days, this was a mechanical switch that could tolerate high voltages. To fire the flash, the camera merely closes a switch to complete a circuit between the contacts on the flash foot.
