<p>Sorry for the late response guys, but I wnated to thank you all for your contributions. </p>

<p>I had an accident and had other things on my mind, therefor this is a bit late. At the moment the trip is cancelled, I still need to be treated for some stuff. But I will look into all the advice you given me.</p>

<p>Thanks again,</p>

<p>Daniel</p>

<p>Dick,</p>

<p>the Vivitar sounds like something we would like. Can this be used on all the camera's, especially the more modern digital ones?</p>

<p>Cheers,</p>

<p>Thanks all for the replies.</p>

<p>Sorry if this seemed to be a weird post, but it is something we were wondering about. As I've mentioned we (me and a friend) generally don't like to use flash, but we are planning a long trip, which will probably have quite a few moments when a flash will be needed. We are taking quite a few camera's, not out of need, but just for fun and we have the room to do so.</p>

<p>Although our prefered way was a flash dedicated to a certain system, with the capability to be used with other camera's, it is no problem if completley manual flashes are the only way. We just have to spend some time learning how to use those.</p>

<p>I've looked at the metz with adapters, but those are quite expansive and we would need to buy quite a few of them. Are they only needed to use them in a automatic mode or do you even need it when you want to use the manual mode?</p>

<p>My apologies if these are dumb questions, neither my friend or myself have any technical knowhow, so a lot of things you guys mentioned sound quite foreign to us.</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I would like to know if it's possible to buy one flashgun for multiple camera's, from different brands and in different formats. Searching on google didn't give a lot of usefull info.<br>

We don't us flash often, and actually prefer to not use it. But there are situations when it is needed. Although we own a lot of different cameras, we don't want to buy multiple flashes.<br>

We use both film and digital camera's, from 35mm to 6x6, and would like to invest in a good flash. Our prefered way would be to buy a flash that is dedicated to a certain system (for instance Canon EOS, which we use both as film and digital) but that's also usable on other camera's, maybe only manual. </p>

<p>Is this possible, if so which flash is suitable for this?</p>

<p>To give you an idea about what cameras we use, here are some examples</p>

<p>Minolta MF and AF cameras (film)<br>

Canon EOS 350D and 550D<br>

Canon Eos 300, 500, 30, 1N (film)<br>

Fujiflim S5 Pro<br>

Sony R1<br>

Olympus C8080<br>

Yashica 635 <br>

Pentax 645 (film)<br>

Fuji TX-1 (Xpan)<br>

Ricoh 500G<br>

Agfa Isolette<br>

Bronica RF645<br>

Olympus OM series<br>

Praktica MTL5</p>

<p>Thanks for any advice,</p>

<p>Cheers,</p>

<p>Daniel</p>
