NOPE!! The SCA351 only lights-up the flash ready light in the R8's viewfinder, it doesn't even set the default X-sync speed of 1/100 sec! That's one of the reasons that I didn't keep my R8 very long, I had too much flash equipment that was SCA 351. However, having said that, I think that Metz has a SCA3000-to-351 module/adapter that is capable of mating the older SCA300 series flashes to the newer SCA3000 circuitry. I'm not completely sure about that though. Maybe some of our more knowledgeable members can expound on this.
