Contax G2 TLA flash on Zeiss Ikon

[Peter_S]

Hi!
Quick question:
Can I use the G2's TLA200 Flash on the Zeiss Ikon ZM...no problem, I would think?

Cheers,
Peter

I do and it works.

Will it fire TTL?

I'm not sure. Just for the heck of it, I made a few test shots with my ZI using the manual mode for flash unit (a TLA 200) that came w/ the G2 I purchased. It syncs w/ shutter speeds 1/125 and below. I haven't tried to use the auto TTL mode.

It does fire TTL... with the G2.

Beware, this is a very small flash that sits close to the camera without the ability to modify the light... other than focal length. I find the results to be rather harsh, but great for fill flash in moderate lighting situations. Of course, the OP knows this, but perhaps others don't.
