8008s - problem with TTL flash (Vivitar N600)
By paulrmc - usenet poster
Greetings!
I recently bought a Nikon 8008s on E-bay. The camera works great, except
for one problem: when using flash in TTL mode, the flash (Vivitar N-600)
fires with very small power, resulting in severe underexposure. The same
flash works just fine in TTL mode on my N-2000 and FE-2.
Question: Can this be because 8008s has a more sophisticated flash
interface than these older cameras, and therefore is not totally
compatible with the Vivitar flash? (I have not yet tried it with a Nikon
speedlight). Did you ever encouter this problem?
Thanks,
Pavel

Maybe you don't have the correct TTL module on your flash. I have seen
different modules for the manual cameras advertised (for Sunpak models) than
the more sophisticated autofocus cameras(just a thought). Maybe this would
be true with the Vivatar models. I have used my 8008s with a Nikon SB28 and
get perfect results.
