pippy Posted November 10, 2021 Share #2 Posted November 10, 2021 Adding flash sync. was a very popular modification to pre-IIIf bodies. Leica could perform the modification and, AFAIK, the socket was always placed to the right of the viewfinders on the rear of the top-plate below the accessory shoe. Non-factory modifications could mean that the positioning of the PC socket was placed elsewhere - as in your example. Philip Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alemartinezc Posted November 11, 2021 Share #4 Posted November 11, 2021 My last acquisition two months ago was a sharkskin IIIC in very good condition and very good price. The camera have a flash sync socket in the same location as the one shown above. In close inspection it looks very profesionally done, and even if I don’t like very much this kind of additions, I love this one. Welcome, dear visitor!

Pyrogallol Posted November 12, 2021 Share #5 Posted November 12, 2021 Reid cameras had them on the front as standard. Welcome, dear visitor!

George Furst Posted November 19, 2021 Share #6 Posted November 19, 2021 I have seen these on many pre lllf cameras and always wondered if they really work? When the lllf came out there was a very complex sync table available on how it worked, complete with settings, with different flash bulbs. Yes remember them? And now we have electronic flash,that were in their infancy back then. Now that is the perferred option to the exploding flash bulbs, has any one tried to take a picture using the sync nipple? Did it work or did you see half of the frame covered and the other half blanked out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrogallol Posted November 19, 2021 Share #7 Posted November 19, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I once took a successful picture with flash powder using my M3.
