Hi folks

I am currently using a Nikon D70, I also have a Hanimex TZ36 Flashgun that I used with a Pentax K1000 before I bought the Nikon. Is it possible to use this flashgun with the Nikon and if so how do I connect it to the Nikon.

Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Sam Burke

Many thanks Ken, I should have mentioned that the Hamimex is a hammer type flashgun. I'll take your advice and not try it.

Hi,
I've got the same model flash and was also unsure about using the flash with a new DSLR. My solution was to use a remote radio trigger with the gun. There's no direct connection with the camera so no chance of any shocks to the system. This also gives the added bonus of being able to place the flash wherever you want it. I think the trigger was about £16 from Amazon. I've also got an old slave trigger (with a little rubber suction cup) and I use this to fire another old Hanimex hammer flash so I'm able to use both of my old guns with my new camera ... result!!!
I hope this helps.
