My adapter will let you use a flash without modifying the camera. It can also accept more than flash units Fri, 10 Jul 2009 14:29:47 GMT Jed Skillman http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/StereoRealist/message/1426 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/StereoRealist/message/1426 Sometimes simple is best.
