Connecting off camera flash to shoe
Hello,
I would like to move my vivitar 2800 flash off my minolta x-700 body, and was uncertain about which cable to use to connect the flash to the off-camera shoe. My flash didn't come with any cables, and I wasn't sure which of the ones listed in the x-700 manual I should purchase. Any help would be appreciated. |

It's not as simple a question as it appears, and largely depends on the connections that are available on the flashgun (which I'm not familiar with) and whether you have/want dedicated functions. Drop by a pro-camera store, carrying the camera and flashgun, if no-one here answers. If it's a dedicated flashgun, you're probably better off leaving it on-camera and 'synch-ing' another. |

According to the trusty Paramount Sync cord site, the Vivitar #9 is the one you need. Paramount has always worked best for me. Bob Hickey |

Connecting off camera flash to shoe
Since I've not purchased the off camera shoe, I'm going to with the
VHS-6C Vivitar to Hot Shoe from the Paramount site, as it looks like a nice "all in one" solution. Thanks for all the help. Bob Hickey wrote: "P" wrote in message oups.com...
