Hi, Some last remarks and FYI: I digged up my voltage measurements of the various flash units I use (more serious/higher than I thought..): Chinese (obscure) Yin-Yan tiny 35mm flash unit: 265 volts (the same nasty behaviour as Georges chinese flash unit). Metz 60 CT-2: 25 volts (probably ok for safe use) Olympus Auto Quick 310: 235 volt (pretty high, but the Olympus OM2 still functions ok) Bowens Monolite 400: 175 volts (so that's why my fingertips "tinkle" when I touch my all metal Calumet C400..;-)..) It seems that 6 volts is the preffered voltage, upto 30 is probably ok: data from the Paramountcord website: is not in the air anymore, but can be found back through the Way Back Maschine: http://web.archive.org/web/20041010003839/www.paramountcords.com/vp.htm (and for those using digicams. .http://www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html..) So the Metz is ok for my Bronica RF, the studioflash isn't, but the RF isn't a good studio camera, for that I use my Bronica SQA, which can take this high voltage (until now...) Probably much more than you wanted to know..;-)..
