I do not own all the equipment described on this website, no-one does, although I have collected a lot. However this website is the result of trying to draw as much useful info as possible into a single place, and is what I would have liked to have found when I started buying older flashguns. Most of this info can be found elsewhere, but it is scattered around the web. I would be happy to receive suggestions for any additions and corrections via :
