i have a panasonic G1 and the hotshoe shows 3 connections for dedicated flash and the large central one which seems to be on all cameras
i have got a vivitar zoom thyristor 2500 flash gun now with central contact only
in the past i have used thyristor guns and think this one will suit me fine
question...is it ok to use it on my G1 without any problems of firing voltages etc
it cost me 1.99 in a charity shop and i am itching to get back to flashlight photography without having to change the flash power in the camera when i have been using the built in small flash
the guide number of the V 2500 is 20M for asa 100 setting...iso 100 that is
which for me would be fine for indoor and close work up to 2-3M on thyristor settings
also it has bounce and zoom facility
you may think this is really out of the ark stuff but its what i was used to in the misty past...1988 etc
thanks for looking
cheers
