I picked up an F4 a few months ago that was in excellent shape. I wanted to start experimenting with some flash photography, so I bought the SB-24 flash. I've since been unable to get the flash to fire (without film). I know that the flash and camera are syncing to some degree, as the red flash icon is displayed through the viewfinder and the aperture reading on the flash changes as I rotate the aperture ring on the camera.
I was considering buying a sync cable to bypass the hotshoe and link the camera and flash using an alternative method. Is this a viable option? If so, what would be the best sync cable?
Thanks, everyone. This is my first post!
