The closer model to this flash but provided with sensor could be the 121 BC and E 20 C, these models have the same external design and external size than the E15B, however they can work manual and automatic; for the automatic mode these flash units work from 0,4m to 4m at f/4 using ISO 50 DIN 18 film speed, there is a dial in the unit to adjust the f stop according the ISO and DIN film speed. The flash duration for the automatic mode can vary from 1/2500 sec to 1/30000 sec according the existing light. The flash duration for the manual mode is 1/2500 sec. In general the flash units have a green or red light to indicate the flash is ready to shoot, these Rollei units with sensor have this light, however I don't know if they have other light to indicate if the flash light will be sufficient for the shot, f.e. the Vivitar 283 has this light. I cannot write more data because I don't know your exact Rollei flash model, anyway I insist the best way to test it it's to take two or three photographs watching the results.- All the best Carlos __________________________________________________ Preguntá.
