Recently purchased a Kodak Ektar Commercial 10" lens (manufactured in 1957) mounted in a #4 Acme Synchro Ilex shutter for use on a Toyo 4X5 view camera.
The shutter employs a bi-post sync connection (not a typical PC sync connection). I am using modern studio strobe lights equipped with a typical 1/8" mono jack as the on-strobe cord connection for flash synchronization.
Will this #4 Acme Synchro shutter properly sync with a modern studio strobe unit? I read somewhere that a special electronic controller may be required to properly sync the shutter with a modern strobe. Is that correct?
If I have a bi-post to 1/8" mono sync cord custom made, will this be all that is needed to properly sync between shutter and strobe?
