: I have a Pentax ZX-M and Vivitar 2000 flash. I have read and heard that the older flashes out there may damage the more sensitive electronics of the newer cameras. I have emailed Pentax, but I would also prefer an answer from someone that isn't trying to sell me a flash. So while I'm waiting for a reply from Pentax, can anyone enlighten me?
This question has been answered by David Marsh, owner of Apex Photo-Technical Services and past president of NAPET, the international trade organization for camera repair technicians. Please read his detailed response at the following page http://www.acecam.com/message/4631.html which is hyperlinked below.
There's a safe solution for combining older flash units with modern AF cameras and that's using the Wein Safe-Synch Module. Here's a page on that product http://www.saundersphoto.com/html/body_wn_accss.htm
