Which flash for older Pentax 6x7

Recommended Posts

Thanks in advance for your help, I am strictly an amateur and I just

purchased an older 6x7 with a 45mm and 75mm that I intend to use

mainly for landscapes, however I've read so much about portraits with

the camera that I've also purchased the 200/4. Will my SB28 work

with the camera, or would I be better off purchasing some other flash

conducive to the Pentax?

Thanks,

Jim

Most any flash will work. The issue is does your SB28 have a way to connect to a standard PC and more important, how do you hang the flash on the beast. The standard pentax wooden handle has a cold shoe for mounting a flash if you plan to shoot a lot of flash pix. I don't find the p67 all that great for what little flash work I do.

 

I did pick up a bracket out of a comera store's junk box for $5, that works well. It uses an old graphlite flash mounting bracket mated to a large platform, that allows for easy off camera flash. I only had to replace the cold shoe with a hot shoe/PC cord unit. My $0.02 worth.
