Bronica Etr
will the vivitar 285HV flash work with both a bronica etr-s and also a canon 400d?
Hello, just need to know as I’m thinking of buying one, but I’d need to be able to use it with both of my cameras! Thanks, x
I have read several conflicting reports on the 285HV. Some say it has a trigger voltage of ~ 6 volts, some say 12 volts, one even said 8.5 volts. It should be safe if you use it off-camera with your 400D as long as the 400D has a PC connector. If you plan to use it on-camera, you should have the flash checked at a camera shop to determine the exact trigger voltage. If its more than 6 or 7 volts you might want to invest in the Wein Hot Shoe to Hot Shoe Safe-Sync to be 100% safe.
Of course this whole trigger voltage issue does not affect using the flash with your Bronica.
I chuckle when people talk about how difficult it is to use a non-dedicated flash like the 285HV with a DSLR. This little dissertation is for them not you.
To use a non-dedicated flash simply requires a little thinking. First, you have to set the ISO on your camera. Next, you set the same ISO on the flash unit. Now the really hard part: You have to choose a color-coded shooting mode on the sensor on the front of the flash – Purple, Blue, Red, Yellow, or Manual. Next, you have to look at a circular dial chart on the flash and match the color you chose to its corresponding f-stop and distance range. At ISO 100 the Red Mode might give you f8 at 15 feet. So as long as you stay within 15 feet of your subject you can shoot confidently. Now if you decide to use bounce flash, well you’ll have to stop and think about how far it is from the flash to the ceiling and then from the ceiling to the subject and then how far you are from the subject and add those together – and then change your flash accordingly. The Yellow Mode might tell you f4 at 30 feet. The Manual Mode is simply a “full dump” – a 100% discharge of the flash.
Disclosure time: My first real flash unit was a Vivitar 283 that I bought in Feb. 1976. I still use it on occasion.
