Hi All,

I've bought a Set of Elinchrom D-Lite 4. I use the K10D and don't quite have the the funds at the moment for a wireless trigger to fit the heads. What is the best hotshoe adaptor to use?
K-5, 2 K10D's, 16-45mm SMC DA,35mm DA Macro Limited, SMC 18-55mm WR, Sigma 135-400mm, 43mm SMC FA f1.9 Limited, 15mm SMC Limited, AF540FGZ, D-BG2

I can't be definitive about the particular heads you have purchased, but I have always used a simple non-dedicated hotshoe adapter.

It should be possible to pick one up for just a few pounds. There are probably dozens of them at camera fairs, and maybe something on eBay - I haven't had time to check but it must be worth a look.
Best regards, John

You can get a wireless trigger on an ebay shop 'mr studio one' for less than the cost of a pc adaptor
