Purchased the 285HV and am now using it on my K10d.

Hmmmm. I thought the 285HV was the 2007 re-issue of the 285. I didnt know there was 285HV model 15 years ago. I did test the trigger voltage of mine by touching the two contacts in the flash shoe using my analog tester and it barely registered 5 volts so I think Im safe.

One thing I noticed touching the two contacts using the tester closed the circuit and made the flash fire. Is that OK? Am I doing it right?
