"I've used a 285HV but never owned one. I have an OM-1 era Vivitar 283
with all the trimmings but its trigger voltage is above the safe comfort
level for the 5D which is only good to 250 volts. But the A1 will take
400. "
Have seen these things mentioned as well as a home made job with schematics on
Pnet. Apparently
some flavors of the 283's are OK and have a lower T Voltage, though I don't
remember the details and I know mine is not.
I have the variable power controller too, though no functional meter as of yet.
Perhaps one more of too many doodads to locate when needed.
