Vintage Connectors

The following sync cord types are for true vintage cameras and strobes. Only a few photographers who use pre-1970's camera equipment will ever need this information. If you have any of these vintage cords please contact me as I would like to add them to my collection.

The #'s on these pics are used to describe the ends of the connectors. Each cable has two ends. The chart below lists some corresponding usable brands.
