So I have this Nikon D40 which is all well and good, but with my 18-55 lens PLUS my fisheye attachment, the lens is about five inches long.
this causes anything I photograph to have a nice big fat shadow on it, cast by said lengthy lens.
Now I don't want to drop $200 on a Nikon speedlight. BUT! I have heard things about voltage and so on. Now I've been wanting one of those cute Holga 12MFC electronic flashes because it seems to me it doesn't have to be so RIDICULOUSLY huge, But I have no idea if it would work properly/fry my camera - I can't find the voltage specs.
also, I do have an old, practically antique Albinar 91 flash. It was bought for a film camera and does not seem to be recognized by my Nikon. At all. No idea what the voltage on that is, either.
I've had the Nikon SB400 flash suggested to me, but it doesn't seem like it would be tall enough to reach past the behemoth lenses. Also, I'd like to use color gels.
MY QUESTION IS:
Can I use the holga flashes?
and if not, is there some sort of adapter for the big one?
much thanks.
