    Do keep in mind that non-electronic cameras are not generally affected by sync switch voltage.

    I found several sources for the triac. Is there any additional info on the resistor, capacitor and diode?
    Is the diode a 10 volt zener?

    Thank You!

    I started with 50Bs, I think the power was a 6 volt battery, never had any problem with the shutter contacts, except when the shutter stuck and I screwed a 50B into a live socket, painful doesn't come close. Never Again!
