450D Flash

[david.saunders40]

Hi,

I have a Canon 450D and while having a tidy up found a almost brand new Amity 820 AZ flash gun from my old 35mm film days.
I would like to know if this flash would work ok with the 450D? The settings are in ASA but think these are the same as ISO ??
I plan to use it as a remote off camera flash. Any advise would be welcome.

Regards Dave.

I have no information on that flash model for you,
but I should warn you that old flashes are known to use higher voltage values
that might cause serious damage to your camera. I would not take the risk
of even connecting it to my DSLR if I could help it.

If I convinced you and you're looking for a flash to buy,
you can get a Metz 50 for around $230 or a Canon 430EX II for $260.
