I would expect two improvements from this power source a. shorter recharge times b. more flashes that from internal batteries. Can anyone suggest a power source. I'd like it to work with an SB-28 also. Thanks, Mike Mike, The Quantum batteries are highly regarded. According to my Quantum catalog, you could use a Quantum Bantam, a QB1+, or Turbo battery. Here is some performance info from Quantum on these batteries. All batteries used with the same flash (Vivitar 283): Battery Recycle Number of shots Bantam 2-3.5 sec 210 QB1+ 3.5-5 sec 250 Turbo 1-2 seconds 350 You will also need the appropriate cable: For an SB26 (they do not list one for a SB28, but I am sure they have one): W/ Bantam: Cable XKZ With QB1+: Cable MKZ Turbo: Cable CK You can find Quantum at www.qtm.com Colin Colin and Marie Povey [EMAIL PROTECTED]
