T90 and 420ez

I have some questions regarding using a 420ez with a T90. First, can

anyone tell me where I can download a manual for this unit? Second,

What features of this flash are NOT compatible with the T90? Third,

if I want to use this on a stroboframe is this possible? I picked

this flash for use with my T90 when I couldn't find a 300tl for a

decent price. I had read this thread about using a 420.

Gary,

I don't know how the 420EZ differs from the 420EX. I have 420EX and 550EX flashes for my EOS cameras and tried the 420EX on my T90. The 420EX and T90 did not communicate in a manner that yielded a proper exposure. I presume the 420 could be used in manual mode - it's manual should tell you the guide number in manual. If I don't use the 300TL on the T90, the next easiest thing is a thyristor type flash such as the Vivitar 283/285 or the SunPak equivalent.

This probably wasn't of much help, but good luck.

There's a 300 TL on e-bay right now (next 30 min) for about $60.

You are not patient enough. If you get this soon, check it out.

Otherwise, get a 299T or 199A strobe; they work well with the

T-90 too.
