Thanks Bob. I got that far, it does fire in sync with the camera too - just not sure if it's firing enough light, or holding back as part of the auto feature. My more current flash guns' auto mode seem very sensitive to existing light, and fire accordingly. I'm not sure how sophisticated this little Rollei is or is supposed to be, and what to expect.

you can test the rollei flash by sliding the clear plastic panel coveringthe bulb that lights up when the flash is charged and ready. as iremember, sliding that to the side tests the flash, and also allows you to place a rollei locking tip flash cord on the pc socket of the flash (the other end of the clear plastic sliding thingy is semicircular and holds theridged edge of the rollei locking tip.

It's not the Rollei E 15 B, from what I can find online, becaus it has an "Auto" sensor that is turned on by opening a little window (allowing light in to the sensor) on the front of the lens. Could anyone tell me what model flash that is? And how can I test it - is there a way to test a flash - do they even go bad, or weak?
