I have recently aquired a Vivitar flashgun the model is a 3500 Zoom Thyristor
and apparently it is Olympus dedicated. It cost me £10 but what I didn't get was
any manuals etc.
Is anyone familiar with this flash gun? ...it's in two parts that couple
together, the lower part has a hole at the front, a switch at the side that
turns on a beeper when the flash is ready, and another switch at the back with
three cloured dots (red, orange and blue) a yellow triangle and TTL there is a
green LED that I can't get to light up. The upper section has the flash unit
(bounce head and a zooming diffuser) and a scale at the back with lines that
correspond to the dots on the lower section, and a sliding ASA scale. (and
houses the batteries, on/off switch and light that indicates the flash is
ready).
Does 3500 mean a guide number of 35(m) at ISO 100?...and what is a
"Thyristor"??!
Any information on what this all means and how to use it would be appreciated...
I also aquired a Prinzflex 80-200mm (f4.5-5.6) Zoom (52mm filter) has anyone
heard of this make? (it was very cheap so I don't mind (too much) if it's
rubbish).
Thanks in advance
Alex
