Will the canon 580EX flash work on a Mamiya 7II?

I'm picking up this camera soon and would like to know is this combo will work.


Thanks

Please test it for us! I have the 550EX and would love to know if it will work, probably in manual mode, on other hot shoe cameras.
 
Glowie:

I'm quite sure it will work with the hotshoe, just not in TTL mode. Auto mode should be okay using synch connection or hotshoe.

i use the 580ex with the 7II with no issues. just remember to set special function 5 to setting 3 and it works great.

Cheers,

qruyk12 - thanks so much for your response. I was wondering if I could use my 580EX with the M7II, and the CF setting was the missing link!

Cheers,

anyone have a good sugestion for a flash to buy for my mamiya7? Something good, reasonablely priced, reliable, without the fancy ttl functions...
 
Flash for 7 or 7II

You can use Vivitar 285HV is you need a lot of power. Otherwise the Nikon sb-20 Sb-22 are great little flashes for almost no money. If you can find a Nikon sb-28 for 100 bucks you will not be sorry either.

PS.. do not waste your money on the SB-28DX as you will not need its extra features.
 
Thanks, I was looking at the sb23 but I figured the added power of sb22 would be better, picked one up in excelent condition with user book for $20
