Thanks, but I think I'm out of luck. My Quantum Battery 2 is a 9 volt unit. I use it with the AF400T. The Sigma would require the 6 volt Battery 1 or one of Quantum's other 6 volt power packs. I guess I'll keep swapping those nimh batteries in and out. Paul -- Original message -

The Pentax AT 400 has a power connection for external power supplies. Quantum makes a cord that plugs right into it. That's the only relatively recent unit with which I'm familiar. My thirty-five year old Honeywell potato masher strobes also had connections for external power. I've never encount

Where have you been the last 40 years or so, Paul? Quantum's power packs usually use a dummy battery pack with a cord to connect. Often require a hole to be drilled or notched into the battery door of the flash as well, which I never much liked. graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com "Idiot Pro

Mark, You mention that you had considered a Quantum power pack for your Sigma flash. Is there a "power in' connecter on the Sigma? Does Quantum make a connector? I own both the Sigma and a Quantum Battery II, but I never saw anything on Sigma that suggested an external power source could be impl
