Hexar AF Flash

[mike_cohen6]

<p>Are there any (dis)advantages to using the HX-18w rather than the HX-14 on a Hexar AF?<br>

Thanks in advance for any help.<br>

<p>Mike - </p>

<p>Here is a link to a review of the camera that may (or may not help) </p>

<p>Mike - I use the HX-18W with my Hexar AF. Its perfectly safe to use it. It has the added advantage of being set higher than the HX-14, reducing the chances of red-eye.</p>

<p>Make sure you re-program the guide number. The second last post in the link David posted above tells you how to do it.</p>

<p>Have fun with the Hexar. It's a very confusing camera to use, but the results are remarkable.</p>

<p>Thanks for these helpful responses. I had (with great trepidation) to reprogram my standard Hexar to accept alternative guide numbers if I wanted to use anything other than the HX-14 in flashmatic: in the end, after reading around I settled on a Nikon SB-20. </p>
