Hey Strike, you forgot you're addressing a clueless, bottom-of-the- line point-and-shoot Bastard!

But any strobe who instruction manual says NEVER to grease any of the O-rings can blame it on us for not greasing the O-rings. :-) As for attachment -- AFAIK, it took Sue about 5 seconds -- once whe found the hole at the bottom of the housing where the arm of the strobe was supposed to be attached, with the turn of a built-in screw. So far, it seems to be IDIOT-proof ... but as the old saying goes ... never mind ... I can't stand the thought of Ron Lee the IDIOT popping in here should I use that jihad word once too often. :-))) -- Bob.
