But is it a problem or just odd? > It is just the way the synch is designed. The synch has 2 contact switches: one is activated by the shutter buton, the other by the left shutter screen flange. When both switches are closed, the flash fires. The screen switch is closed when the left shutter flange rests on the left side. When the shutter button uncocked, the left shutter screen flange rests on the left side, so that swith is close. When you push the shutter button, you close the button switch and the flash fires. When the shutter is cocked, the left shutter screen is on the right side and that switch is open. When you press the shutter button, you close the button switch and also close the shutter which moves the left screen to the left and also closes the shutter switch. You just close both switches and the flash fires. Again, hard to explain without a diagram. Thai. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
