small flash?

[rbiemer]

small is more for fitting into the camera bag. don't need power...i'm thinking about some shots of people at night but up close with my 21 on the rd1.

joe, I was looking to find trigger voltage info about that little Holga unit--and couldn't--but google turned up this discussion:

Ah I just sussed it. It is being displayed using Verdana font which is a not a unicode font and doesn't have those characters. If I uninstall Verdana it displays using Arial which is a unicode font and the next available installed font on my machine and it displays as you intended.

VBulletin uses "verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif" fonts in that order for that particular piece of code.

Most everyone on Windows will have Verdana installed so won't see it displayed as you intended. You could change the def of 'smallfont' class to put Arial first and then everyone will see it properly.

i use a mac...looks fine.

not clear on the rest...

Well Verdana maybe a unicode font but it doesn't have the characters you are using defined in it. Not on Windows anyway. If you installed Vedana font on your system you would see what is happening but it really doesn't matter anyway. It was just bugging me but I understand now.

My shoebox contains V-2800, Sunpak 1600, Leica SF20 ($35, $15, $100, respectfully). I take one when I travel.

Where to buy now I don't know since I haven't been in the market for a while. sorry.

Metz 20 C-2 is what I am using now. I asked the same question on RFF some time back and have trialled this in auto and manual and it seems to work nicely. Small, light and cheap. I've been using it with film on Ms, so YMMV
