I'm a landscape/garden photographer, so I seldom use my flash. Since, however, I'm going out on a job that might call for some fill, I got out my flash to check the batteries. You can probably guess the rest of the story. The batteries had all gone south, leaving a nice acid crust on the contacts. I've scraped the contacts, run an emery board over them, and swabbed them with a vinegar-soaked q-tip. The flash still won't come on. Any suggestions?
The good news is you get to select a new, modern flash. Don't hesitate to begin a new post when you narrow down your selection.
