Be very careful about using old flash guns with DSLRs!!!
Some of the old flash guns use an extremely high voltage and thus can destroy circuits inside the DSLR!
Sometimes it needs some time to realise that, since the cam works fine for while!
I would never risk that!!!
There is a website that lists all the high voltages. I'll try to find it... _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

OK, here it is: http://www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html
You see that the Sunpak 200 series is not at all "EOS-safe"...
"The 285HV has a voltage of 12V. The 285 has a voltage of 350V."
That does not sound good either, does it? _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!
