Had a rummage through my dad's old film stuff today, aside from the carry case and blower brush I've nicked, is there any point in me using the speedlite 300EZ or Miranda C-AF 32 flashguns I found there? I'm not too fussed about the speedlite as it doesn't bounce or anything. I know the risk with using old flashguns with new bodies is that they sometimes burn out the circuitry, but am I right in thinking the 5D is protected against that right up to studio lights?
I know that neither will have ETTL or anything but I figured it would save me some cash from buying another one. Would I be able to pair it with a cheap wireless system to get into strobe/off camera stuff? Obviously without the exposure control it'll all have to be manual but I won't be using it much outside of situations that I can set up before hand.
I might get some Yongnuo heads as well later but just to get started will it be sufficient?
