[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 219211, member: 17556"] I won a Vivitar 285HV flash in mint condition (said it was used once and I believe it) as it is extremely clean and still in box. I suppose it has sat for a while without being used. I am trying to "form" the capacitor so it will work again. Will the "AA" batteries do this or will I need the SB-4 AC adapter? So far, I have had it on for an hour or more and it still has not charged the capacitor. This is a beast of a flash unit and can even be used on DSLR due to its 6V trigger voltage, however, without TTL function. I plan to buy two or three more of these for studio flash off camera.
