Electronic Flash Guns for older cameras....

[Corto]

What are you guys using?

I'm looking for a very compact unit for my Isolette and Vito CLR.

Ive used them before with some rather large Minolta and Nikon units (via PC cable of course) but would like something that would slip in to a jeans pocket........

Thanks

I have a 2800-d Vivitar that I use on folders and compact 35s. It has two auto settings, manual setting, but it has only a hot shoe (no PC). So I have a converter that allows PC to hot shoe. Be sure to have your M-X setting on X. I don't know about jean pockets though. I also have a Minolta Auto 25 that would fit in jeans pocket. But it doesn't have enough poser to make me happy.

For a pocket flash I use the Nikon SB-E. It has an Auto mode but is limited to 35mm coverage and uses small AAA batteries. I get a few rolls out of a set of batteries depending on how much it flashes in the shot.

Another vote for the 2800-D. I use them on all kinds of older cameras. Just the right balance of size vs power.
