    Kodak Ektar 127mm: how to sync with flash?

    Question: how is it possible to sync this lens with a flash? I do not see a PC sync. Are there other options?

    You need a bipost-to-PC adapter cord.

    You also need to set the adjustable flash sync delay to zero. This is the switch with M, M, FX, and OFF settings. If you set it at "OFF" that will probably be X-sync. If you set it at "M" that fires the sync about 20 msec before the shutter, which is great for M-type flashbulbs, but will fire an electronic flash before the shutter opens. Test it to be sure.

    If shooting in studio, turn off all light, I use remotes, open shutter, pop the strobe or flashbulb

    If sitter is object, both may be surprised

    Took me years to get GOOD cords

    Just got them

    I first did this under Red Safelight with X-Ray film, as my entire studio could be under safelight
