Firstly, I've put up photos from the 4-day portrait course I did just
before Christmas. There's a few that are up there purely because I
wanted to include at least one of everyone on the course. Thanks to
William for the hotshoe pc socket adaptor - of course the college had
IR remote triggers that went straight into the hotshoe so I didn't
need to worry.

The problem I'm having is with one of these:
http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmagicQ5ftrigger (click on one of the
items to see a detailed description)
I bought the 16 channel version for no particular reason other than
they were hardly more expensive than the basic version and yes, I'm
sure the base cause of the trouble is that they're poorly made cheap
bits of plastic from China. But I can't figure out what's going on.
The trigger will fire my old T32 but not my new FL36, which is the
one I need it to work with. Both flashes fired just fine on my OM2n.
The confirmation light blinks on the receiver but whatever signal it
sends out to the flash doesn't do the trick. I've been through the
manual for the FL36 and can't find anything. I've tried insulating
the other three contacts on the shoe of the FL36 to make sure there
was no confusion from them making some kind of connection, but no
change. From Chuck's mail in December it seems that the flash is
supplying the power and the receiver is just meant to a switch that
closes. Any ideas what it could be?
Thanks,
James
