I recently bought the -3 and appropriate adapter and have not yet been able to get the R8 acknowledging its presence in both the viewfinder and the rear window, tho the flash does go off. Do you think this could be the hot shoe contacts failing to "connect" properly? Eric Welch wrote: > At 05:56 PM 6/28/98 -0400, you wrote: > > >something they should address.
