Hi,

How can I connect strobes with an X-sync cable to my Pentax 645N?
I assume there might be a hot shoe to x-sync cable converter or something?

Cheers
Peter

The 645n has a PC fitting. It is on the left side of the camera above the strap lug.

If you need to use with the leaf shutter lens here you go, it will also work with the standard X synch port on the body, otherwise older pentax flash units can use an x synch cable

Otherwise X sync to generic hotshot via ebay etc

Hey!

Thanks to both! Slightly embarrassing but I haven't noticed that contact.
Much appreciated :-)
