    Newbie Flash Question

    What kind of synch cord do I need for my CG? The lens is a 50s Xenar.

    Thanks!

    Without a pic or description, its kinda hard to say, but I'd guess that it has two prongs sticking from the side of the shutter and takes a bi-post cord. Check www.paramountcords.com for photos of all the different connections and cords to match.

    If your shutter has a bi-post connector, and your strobe can take a U.S. household electrical connector, as many studio strobes do, an electric shaver cord will work, too.

    I just use the bulb (B) setting on the shutter, small f stop, open the shutter,
    fire the flash by hand.
