no, I have neither available. But 1s wouldn't work because flash sync time is 1/60s and only then the sync switch would open.
I have disassembled the hotshot and found it a little corroded, looked all in all a bit sketchy. Talked with the seller, he took it back. I'm now looking for a new spotty F or esii.
