 Posted: Tue Sep 13, 2011 8:28 am Post subject: New Flash for Pacemaker |
 |
|
Hi:
I bought a new flash unit for my 4x5 Pacemaker. It appears to have the "standard" clamps on the side to mount it to the camera, but the camera has an attachment plate with which it will not mate.
It occurred to me that perhaps I could take this attachment plate off the camera and the flash may mount on the side of the Kalmart rangefinder directly.
Any advice would be welcomed. Do I need to buy another bit? If so, what would it be named so I'll be able to search properly.
Thank you,
Craig |

As an alternative to adding the bracket from eBay, the "clamps" on your flash unit will mount to the lugs for the leather strap on the left side of the camera. They might have to be relocated to match the spacing of the lugs.

I just searched for one and could not find one. If anyone sees one available please email or PM me.

Dave,
Thank you. I think that it has some of what I need, but I suspect that it will be missing some of the connecting parts.
I will wait a while.
Steve

Steve,
Looks like it's missing the paper gasket and one mounting screw. Is there something else you were thinking about? |

With Dave's help I finally got all the bits together including some P25 blue bulbs and shot a few pictures at our staff Holiday party with my 4x5 Pacemaker. Came out nice and the "huge" camera with flash bulbs was a major attraction and a first for some of the people in attendance.("You mean you only use them once??")
Now my question: Does anyone have the flash guide for clear (not blue) P25 bulbs or know where I can get one? There is a link on this board to the guide numbers for GEŽ Number 5 Flash Bulbs which works, and one for Press 25 bulbs that doesn't work at http://graflex.org/flash/recommendations.html. Can I just use the No. 5 guide numbers?
One last question: Is there any difference in guide numbers for blue or clear P25 bulbs? I know the blue bulbs are for use with color film, but I shoot black and white almost exclusively.
Thank you for your help.
