I have tried to use the Canon 299T flash (trigger voltage about 5 Volts) with a simple sync cable adapter and HAMA optical slave device.

It seems to trigger fine but only once. If I remove the slave device and reconnect it it fires again but only once. My other older flash with trigger voltage around 200V works fine.

Any advice what to do, except: 1) return the slave device and use sync cable or 2) use another flash.

All I can say is that I have heard of similar problems when using optical slaves with Canon flashes.

Sorry, it was ROWI, not Hama.
