xxloverxx Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 <p>Does anyone use this camera? There seems to be a total of one website which briefly mentions its specs and when it was made.</p> <p>The PC sync socket is so tight that I'm strongly considering getting a PC-hotshoe adapter to mount permanently onto this camera — any other suggestions?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_watson1 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 <p>I've bought several older cameras with PC sockets that were crudded up with years of dirt and gick, so much so that they didn't take a synch cord. Usually the fix was a matter of cleaning out the space between the center pin and the socket wall. Try it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxloverxx Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 <p>I stuck a toothpick into the area and got a tiny bit of dirt out, but it's not making a difference — still extremely tight.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_watson1 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 <p>Any chance the center post is misaligned? Is your male PC connection bent? Asking since I've had synch cord plugs stepped on and deformed making them too loose or too tight for camera PC sockets.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxloverxx Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 <p>The same cable works on my Canon P, Nikon FM, Vitoret, Hi-Matic 9 etc without problems. It's not just this cable either — I've tried 3.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
