    When I have it off the camera, it discharges just fine. When it is on the camera - nothing.

    Suggestions? :[

    It is an Opteka EF600DG-C. <Insert remark about buying off-brand kit here>

    Check the contacts on the hotshoe of the camera...if you get any grime or dirt it will stop the flash from firing ...

    just give it a hard wipe and see if that works?

    I've tried it on two different bodies with the same result. Contacts are definitely clean.
