Lello,

In short any flash with a high trigger voltage cannot be connected safely to ANY electronic camera by whatever means.

When I get a moment I will take the front off an old mechanical camera so you can see the lump of copper that is the flash contact.

I have downloaded the D80 manual but have not had a read through yet to see if there is a specified max trigger voltage. With the D100 I did a test, and the pop up does do a preflash whereas my SB80 trips my remote guns fine when used with SC-17 lead.

It is still possible that your Yinyan cy32twz will be fine with the lead. Do you know its trigger voltage off the top of your head ?

Don
