nom Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 A member of this forum recently posted a picture of a Canon G5 with the Leica SF-20 flash attached. I would like to know his experience on this combination, especially if the voltage of the flash is safe for the camera. I would like to try my CF flash on it. Anybody else's experience would be very welcome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_murphy1 Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 I can't say if it's "safe," butthe SF20 works well on my G2. I can't seem to eliminate red-eye when I use the G2's built-in flash--but the small Leica unit does a great job on this camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliver_s. Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 According to <a href="http://www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html">this list</a>, The CF isn't completely risk-free. Consider a Wein Safe Sync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_henry1 Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 There isn't the same contact pattern on the Canon hotshoe and the Leica SF-20. That being said, I tried the very thing today with my SF-20 on auto setting and my G2 Powershot, and it worked pretty well. And nothing got fried.
