awh? It would be nice to know your name......

According to my info, the Canon 199A speedlight has a trigger voltage of 6V. This would make it safe to use with any of the current Canon digital cameras including the 60D.

There's a chart with a lot of older flash units trigger voltages and whether they are safe for a Canon:

Thank you "EdMak," I checked out that thread, which did lead to Botzilla.com ( thank you also "Wall-E" ).
And for the record "GrahamS" my name is Wayne. I was also lead to "www.photonotes.org" which provided even more information than "Botzilla.com.
thanks for all the direction. AWH
