I'm looking for a cord that will connect my modern view camera lens to two metz hammer head flashes. I was thinking a pc male to two pc females so I could use other flashes as well. I've heard that Paramount will make custom anything cords. I found the Y cord custom order form and I added it up and I was surprised the bill would be around $70, which is more than I would like to spend on some wire. Is there any cheaper way to have the camera fire two non slaved flashes. I would like a wired solution because the optical penut slaves I've tried never seem to work, and even modern canon 580ex's are not always reliable to fire off the other in the field. I'm not afraid to try and make my own sync cables, I've made xlr audio cables before.
Also
I fried a digital camera directly connecting older flashes to it (Never again with wein safe sync) is there any danger to running all that juice through old batteryless cameras like a rolleiflex or a view camera lens, I wouldn't think so but better safe than sorry.
Thanks
