Compatible Flashes for Mamiya M645


Does anybody know how I find out which flash units are compatible with M645 Mamiya 1000s? Their website does not give this info.

Thanks!!!

  For all 645 models, any manual or non-TTL automatic flash (such as Vivitar 285) can be used in the hotshoe. There is a PC socket for handle mount flashes or studio lights.

The 645AF models have TTL off the film flash control. On these models one should only use modern flashes with trigger voltage less than 12 volts. Per the specs given at their website ( http://www.mamiya.com/ ):
"TTL direct metering, supports Metz SCA3002 system (SCA 3952 adapter required), and SCA 3000 and SCA 300 series (300 series requires both SCA 3952 and SCA 3000C converter)"
