It salvaged my 30-year-old flashApr 21, 2010
With this gadget, I am able to use my Vivitar 283 flash unit with my new digital Canon and Panasonic cameras. I have several accessories for the 283, too, so it was worthwhile to pay the price of the adapter to have the use of the still-serviceable Vivitar flash system. I agree with another reviewer's comments about lack of technical information on the device.

Wein, if you are listening: get more technical details about your products on your web site. Far too many photographers are leery about your safe-sync products, and don't trust them due to the scant information available. I use this with my old Vivitar flash and Canon G7 & 50D with no ill effects so far. I'm going to get a Canon flash soon, because I'm still a bit uncertain and don't want to risk my 50D. My Vivitar puts out only 10v though so even with the wein I'm still not entirely certain that it will work with higher voltages. I would be nice to see a table showing what cameras are guaranteed to work with the weins. Also there are a number of Wein model changes SSHSHS SHSHSH or whatever, and no idea what the difference is. If Wein would publish this info more people might buy this unit, which seems to work for me so far.

 camera safetyNov 26, 2008
I have had no voltage problems since using this gadget. I can't say I know anything about it other than I've read where it is important. I have many friends using older flash units with new cameras and they have no problems. They have never heard of this thing. Camera shops don't know about it or any voltage problems. In the remote possibility of damage occurring I use it anyway but it is a pain. It doesn't fit my hotshoe securely so it is hard to tell if it is fully seated and I get some shots where the flash didn't go off. Can't say I'd like to use this under pressure as a wedding photographer.

 Make sure to confirm compatability with your cameraNov 15, 2007
I'd like to give this product a better rating but I can't. It's not that I don't want to but I wasn't able to use it. When I received it I found that not only would it not fit onto my Sony A700 camera, but it would not accept my old Minolta flash units. I was hoping to save some money and use my old flash but looks like I'm going to have to buy a new flash unit for my new Sony camera. So before you buy this item be sure to confirm that it will work with the camera and flash you are planning to use it with.

It works. So far no melt down of my D70s. I have it going on a year now.
