First, thanks to any who answered, for the information on the flash voltages
for the OM's and the C5050. One more question from one who has no clue about
these things - Can I assume that it is also safe to use a couple T32's
joined by a duo-sync cord on the C5050, or does the trigger voltage double
when two flashes are stacked?
Thanks,
Wayne
