Hi there Archie, Welcome to WPF and the world of Photography - Your camera dates from about 1981 here is a LINK that gives you some information about it. You will notice that the "hot shoe" on the top of the camera where the flash gun goes has one central contact. Others may correct me but I think that means that many of the functions of modern flash guns will not work with that camera so a very simple model will do. I suggest you take the camera to a place like Jessops or your local camera dealer - there are several specialist shops in Bristol - and they should help. You do not need an all singing, all dancing flash as it will not work with this camera - yes it may flash - but it will have other functions the camera cannot use. I would not expect to pay much more than about £10 for such a flash gun. What ever you do - enjoy photography.
