Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / November 2006Canon flash
I need a new flash for my Canon T70. I am having trouble getting the Canon one (277T). Which others could I use? Thanks! > I need a new flash for my Canon T70. I am having trouble getting the > Canon one (277T). Which others could I use? Thanks! I'm using a 420EX on my T90 which is fine except for one major and two minor issues:- 1. The zoom head does not work. It relies on the EOS zoom lenses indicating what their focal length is and zooming internally to match. Obviously the FD lenses cannot do this and the modern flashes to not provide an override. A button would have been useful FFS!. 2. High speed flash sync is only available on EOS cameras. I don't know why this is, technically, but I suspect that it is just that the feature wasn't available outside the Olympus OM-4 when these cameras were new, so they just will not sync at anything faster than 1/250th (T90). 3. Second Curtain Sync is only available via a menu on an EOS which obviously isn't available on a T90, T70, etc. |>2. High speed flash sync is only available on EOS cameras.

I have both T90, T70 backup.

It's about $80, gives you longer reach than the dedicated units, is almost as easy to use, and gives you more flexibility. -Joel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free custom Hanukah songsheets in Hebrew and English: http://liturgy.exc.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |>>I need a new flash for my Canon T70.

It's much cheaper than a Speedlite Canon T-90 300TL for all the features that would NOT be transfered to a Canon T-70... |
