This might help... Click on the link for Speedlights.

If these come don't up trumps, try searching for Vivitar 283's and 285's.

HTH's...

This where the auction sites can help Ayad. Also try some of the long-established photographic dealers like Ffordes, Bristol Cameras, Park Cameras, T4 Cameras et al... I seem to recall getting a 'centralised' listing of all UK dealers recently via Google. Try it...

One other avenue, once you have a list, is to phone a few and ask them to contact you when they get something in. People are trading in stuff all the time - and they will be keen for your business.

And then there's eBay...!



Good Luck.

Have you considered the Metz guns. They`re also very good. If you upgrade/change cameras just change the SCA adaptor. You need an SCA311 adaptor for your Canon.

What models would be compatible with a AE-1?

Quote: I used to use a vivitar 283 when I had a canon AE-1 and can thoroughly recommend one. A very good buy, fast recycling, powerful, easy to use, well made. What more do you want!

The current flashgun I use with my canon ae-1 is a Starblitz 160m Flash Unit. I know for a fact that it's a very basic flash but how does the vivitar 283 compare in terms of distance and power output?

edit: and the vivitar 285?
