Flash for Zeiss Ikon

[Peter^]

I can also recommend the Metz 20 C2

Its small enough to fit well on the Ikon, and the tiltable reflector is very useful.

now the Metz 20 C2 seems like a good deal. Any one have experience using this flash?

yes. see my post above. I've really had not issues with it. GN 20 is fine for indoor photography. Batteries hold forever.

I would add that a major benefit of the compensation function on the 28 CS-2 is that in a club or party environment where you might frequently get a lot of dark background in the subject view which results in over exposure of the main subject, is that you can use the compensation function to automatically correct that from happening without having to adjust lens aperture.

So how do you trigger the 28 CS-2 from your Ikon? It doesn't fit in the hot shoe, does it? Does it come with a PC cord?

Hi,

My Nikon SB-800 (flash) doesn't seem to fit into the zeiss ikon hot shoe. Do you have any ideas of what could be the problem? It should fit, shouldn't it?

Cheers

Solved. I just had to press it in harder.. The flash, it is.
