Ilex No.5 studio strobe trigger?

[xichlo]

hello,
I have a lens with Ilex No.5, the same as this one

I don't see any socket. How can I trigger the studio strobe? . Is there any adapter for it?

Thank you very much.

Hi Anh

Not all # 5 Ilex's are created equal .

Ilex #5 Universal & Then Ilex #5 Universal Synchro

You need an adapter from bipin to a synch cord. Not sure who has these available but someone here should have an idea.

paramount cord, i think in la.

The two posts are the sync contacts. They actually work better than those Eurotrash PC contacts that became the standard later on.

Thanks everyone for helping me, I have learned new thing everyday . Paramountcors.com is selling Bipost to PC sync adapter http://www.paramountcords.com/proddetail.asp?prod=bp-pf.

I am going to get one for studio strobe.

Thanks again.

Hey Frank, some eurotrash can be good (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
