Thanks John, and joy8 for the help.

I think it's just a case of getting hands on and working through it. A friend is giving me some old Hensel's so looking forward to getting them in a couple of weeks.

Interesting that the sync speed is only 1/60. Should be fine for some I Irish portraits, but a bit limiting longer term.

Cheers

Hi,

I've been shooting for a while on a Yashica T5. Wonderfully simple, but a few months ago decided to start using the MX, so I could operate manually and learn how to actually shoot film, rather than just trust the camera.

Until now I've been shooting with natural light, but would like to start doing some portrait photography with off camera flash.

Can anyone offer some advise on getting my old MX to work with some off camera flash.

For example can I work with radio triggers, eg on the bowers, just from the MX hotshoe? If so what accessories do I need?

Or if I use an older flash with cable trigger what hot shoe connection do I need?

How do I sync the shutter to a flash?

Any help much appreciated.
