Is that why my Digilux 1 won't work with an old Nikon external flash (1974 vintage, cigarette pack sized). How does one know what the trigger voltage is? ----- Original Message ----- > I've had a 1 until now. It would not fire "ordinary" flashes, i.e., with high trigger voltages, > e.g., Vivitar 2800 (100VDC). Bought a small Sunpak unit (5VDC) which worked fine. > > Now, with my new Digi 2, the opposite seems to be the case: the 2800 fires, but not the Sunpak. > > Any comment? I've no problem using the 2800 but hope the 100 volts won't damage the camera. > > The IB mentions two Leica flashes: SF20, SF24D.
