Bi-pole to PC flash connector
Having acquired a new lens earlier this year I found that I couldn't use flash as the lens didn't have a PC socket, instead, it had a bi-pole flash connector. Asking for help on Facebook several people came up with suggestions. Charles Twist, a large format photographer, had the same problem some time ago and suggested I harvest a Molex connector from a computer. The sockets on the Molex connector fit tightly on the bi-pole pins so it was just a matter of soldering the connector to an old PC cord and covering with some electrical shrink wrap. Thanks, Charles!
