I want to try using flash occasionally with a 4x5 (Ebony) and possibly with a Mamiya 7 also, and I've never used flash before.
Was thinking about a used Vivitar 283 or 285 - will this work alright? Is one better than the other?
I will start with a few still-life close-ups, and see where I go from there.
So:
Do I need to get anything extra to use in manual mode? At the moment I use a Pentax Spot so presumably I'm going to need something else to meter the flash with?
Will the voltage be OK with the Mamiya 7?
The last question is having read that the 283/285 can fry the circuits in some cameras - can well do without this happening to the Mamiya!
Thanks for any advice on this.
