Ah, I saw clkoh's cable. It's the exact same cable. Maybe I can experiment with speaker cable one day - it should be even more conductive... :lol: The performance also depends on how much current the battery releases its power to the flash gun - i.e. A battery capable of a deeper cycle works better. 330v That is the data I found online: http://www.mhohner.de/minolta/flashcomp_acc.php We might have to get a hold on the schematics of a Minolta EP-2/Sony FA-EB1AM to really find out. It's dangerous not to have the form fitting plug as well unless we build these to order. |

no, i meant if you threw the flash with no bounce, i.e. cut-off. that is basically a full drain on the capacitors, and those are the shots that leave you out cold for 5s with an sla without the ep2, or 8s and counting with AAs as they drain. |
