Jason Webster Posted February 3, 2023 Share #1  Posted February 3, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, I've recently acquired an M3 and am thoroughly enjoying using it, but in the left-hand flash socket there is an adapter sticking out and I can't remove it. As I'm a left-eye shooter, it digs into my eyebrow and is a little bit annoying. I've tried pulling, pushing, twisting etc. and no joy. Is there some trick I'm missing to get it out? Many thanks for any advice and suggestions Jason  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

105012 Posted February 3, 2023 Share #2  Posted February 3, 2023 It should screw out, mine does. It could be that it has oxidised or otherwise become stuck… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted February 3, 2023 Share #3 Â Posted February 3, 2023 They usually just pull out - maybe post a picture so we can see if it looks 'normal' or if it's maybe some modification. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Webster Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share #4  Posted February 3, 2023 Hmmm... I can't tell you how many times I've tried to pull the thing out. And now, having read your comments, I tried again just to be sure... and out it popped! Perhaps some of you have magical powers A huge thanks, both for your patience, advice, and whatever voodoo it was that you just performed! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been looking for one to hook up to a flash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
