canon speedlite 200

<p>I have one canon speedlite 200,handle mount,it´s probably rare,i can´t find nothing about this flash.<br>

The canon speedlite 200 are listed in my FT manual (07-1966) and in my pellix manual (10-1969)-<br>

If somebody knows more about this canon flash,i apreciate.<br>

Thanks.</p>

Would this be the flash?

The speed light 200E and 200 EX are actually EOS system flashguns but I suspect that they will work fine with a body

like the T90 ( most of mty early EOS flashguns do)

<p>Hi Philip,the canon speedlite 200E is for eos cameras (perhaps 1990),my speedlite is more older,(1964 ? ) and is handle mount.</p>

Sorry I missed the handle mount part can you post a picture as nothing comes immediately to mind.

<p>Here's some info on the 200E http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/eos/EOS-1n/Flash/Canon_200E/index.htm</p>

<p>I have not been able to find much information on Canon's first electronic flash units. Speedlites 100 and 200 are listed in the Canon FT owners manual dated January 1965. A later (last?) edition of the FT manual dated January 1971 lists Speedlites 102 and 200. Canon's brochure for the original F-1, dated November 1970, shows the Speedlite 102 but not the Speedlite 200. From this sparse information, I would guess that the Speedlite 100 was introduced around 1965 and replaced by the Speedlite 102 in 1970 or 1971. The Speedlite 200 was introduced around 1965 and discontinued around 1971.</p>

<p>I have a working Speedlite 100 and a non-working Speedlite 200 in my collection. The Speedlite 200 has the original case, camera bracket and PC cord. However, I have not been able to locate copies of the owners manuals for either unit.</p>

<p>Of course, the Speedlite 200E is a much later unit. The "E" suffix refers to the Canon EOS generation which began in 1987 with the Canon EOS 650.</p>

<p>Thanks Gordon,you are like me.<br>

My canon speedlite 200 have the original zippered deluxe leather case with carrying strap made by canon and one transformer 115.-.240v and the cable,the unit 200 have also the pc cord and works well,the passed stamp says:JC II 63,(1963 maybe?).Is also listed in my camera manuals FT and Pellix.It haven't any s/nº or anything else.I have a old canon paper says:<br>

Reflector composed of 14 folding and locking blades<br>

Connector cord with standard asa bayonet and modified tip (two tips)<br>

Powered by 22.5v battery /e.g eveready 412) and 200MFD capacitor for split second synchconization. ??? (BUT on top there are a case for four AA batteries).<br>

Tubular design unit comes with a standard side or bottom mounting bracket.<br>

That's all.</p>

<p>Paulo, your old Canon paper is not for the Speedlite 200. It is for a different flash unit known as a B-C, or "battery-capacitor", fan flash. This is an older style flash that used flash bulbs.</p>

<p>Thanks Gordon Yee,this old paper was in side de batteries compartment,when i bought the flash.</p>

<p>Hi Paul.<br>

i have also the first handle mounted Speedlite 500A for the Canon F-1 with CAT system !!<br>

dena-detlef@t-online.de</p><div></div>

<p>Detlef, you need to sell me that Speedlite 500A.! <br>

I also have a working, full SL 200 kit with the case all accessories and instructions, but they're all at home. It's old, non-dedicated (no such think back then, and finicky, but it does work.<br>

<br />Truthfully, I'd rather use a 533G, or Detlef's 500A.</p>
