Almost any automatic flash will work with a non-through-the- lens-flash-metering camera. I would recommend the Vivitar 283. It is relatively powerful, rugged and there are loads of accessories available. It is a little old in design, but that means that it is cheap (less than $40). -- ---------------- Marty Sasaki net: sasaki@harvard.{arpa,uucp} Havard University Science Center phone: 617-495-1270 One Oxford Street Cambridge, MA 02138
