Re: Minolta XG-M and 132X flash

Hey Ken. Sorry about the delay, I have been doing research on Super 8mm film and it seems to be going a bit slower than I had planned. You really know your cameras. I have been using just regular alkaline AA Duracell batteries in my flashes over all. That is a good idea you had about trying the NiMh batteries in the slower rebounding SUNPAK Auto 321. That may just shorten the recovery time a bit. I will try it out and let you know. It really bums me out that my Minolta 200X dedicated flash will not work properly with my XG-1's. I even bought another one, ( as an experiment ) and both cameras are still doing the same thing so, it has got to be the cameras fault I would think. Like you said, communication/signal error between the hot shoe and the flash. I hope I can get them both fixed by someone that has the experience to do the repairs. PC cable seems to work fine though. I have yet to get my current film developed to see how well the SUNPACK Auto 321 is actually working out. Thanks again.
