    I do not recommend using that flash directly on a digital camera. The trigger voltage appears to be too high to be safe:

    You would do well to verify this for yourself, but until you do, don't use the flash except as a remote slave.

    Sorry.

    Other than that (but that is potentially a big problem) the flash "is" more powerful than the built-in flash on your camera, and it has a tilt capability, so it could be used as bounce, with a bounce card and with a diffusion hood.

    WHOOOOA! That is a whole other ball of wax I had no idea about. bowdown.gif
    Thanks for pointing it out to me. I'm too poor to risk using this thing on the camera. I already got the D50 too late as the D80s have gained momentum. But using this flash as something external (I'm guessing that is what you meant by remote slave?) it could work of course that is if I'm using a tripod.
