Hot shoe to PC cable adapter

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

I'm giving a friend of mine an old 35 mm camera with some random photo equipment that I don't want. Irritatingly enough, it doesn't have a hot shoe, just a PC female I believe. Does anyone know of adapters that I could give her along with the camera stuff so she can actually use my two good flashes (they're hot shoe only)?

Thank you so much. The former link was a perfect match. Now I just need to figure out how to mount it on the camera. I'm thinking superglue.

Does the camera have an accessory (cold) shoe? Many of these adapters are intended to go into a cold shoe. Otherwise, there are flash brackets that screw into the tripod socket and have an accessory shoe.

No cold shoe. I was just going to use the magic of superglue.

Not sure how well superglue will work for that. The shoe has to hold the weight of the flash, and there's probably not much metal to bond to. Epoxy might work better.

 

Or, a simple bracket makes it easy:
