When I connect the sync cord, the light head won't work and it will fire irregularly if the sync cord "contact" the R8. I will have it examed by Leica people this weekend to find out what it is. BTW, I use speedoron pack. After all, since my pack has a slave built in, I can use a smaller output flash onto my R8 to work with the light heads.

I'd tried it with three different cords and two different Norman packs. The fellow said it might be because the packs were using a trigger voltage that was too high or something like that. Anyone else have similar problems? Seems kinda strange that all the other cameras will work on those packs, and that the first time right out of the box the camera's sync worked but then didn't a couple weeks later. Odd. Dave Yoder
