Re: [OM] Vivitar 285HV Zoom Thyristor flash

[Chuck Norcutt]

One nice advantage of the T-32 is that it does not need AA batteries 
when running from an external high voltage power supply.  If you put the 
flash on a tall bracket (like a Stroboframe) the bracket exerts lots of 
leverage.  Having or not having batteries in the flash is very 
noticeable after schlepping camera, bracket and flash around all night.
