Old Soligor flash with Pentax DSLR
Hello everybody,
sorry about this stupid question but i didn't manage to find a
satisfactory answer to it: I am a fresh owner of DSLR Pentax K100D.
With my old 35mm body I have used SOLIGOR TIF 340 flashgun (Pentax
dedicated, of course). It isn't a TTL so my problem is not if the TTL
will work with a DSLR body. My problem is if I can use my flash /in
manual or auto mode/ without any risk of damaging my body. Since I
don't suppose you have experience with this combination, I generalize
my querry- what is your experience with using a flashgun dedicated to
an analog SLR with a DSLR? (not necessarily Pentax). If it depends on
the model of the camera and/or the flash, is there a way to determine,
wheather my flash is able to damage my new digital body (some
measurements of something). From what I have read I understand that the
voltage of the impulse given by the flash to the camera is the issue.
(However- doesn't this apply to TTL flashes only? I have always thought
that a non-TTL flash doesn't send any signals to the camera. What would
be the point?)
To be brief- should I worry about my DSLR body using an old flash
device?
Thanks for any help
Pavel
