Dear Experts My apology if this topic was raised here before. 1 TLRs - Yashica 124G/Minolta LMX 2 Nikon flash SB-400 3 Adapter with locking pin for SB-400 4 Extension flash cable Here is my question. Is it correct to say that the Nikon SB-400 flash cannot be used on a TLR (ie electronic flash on TLR cameras). I have tried with 2 + 3 on a Leica Digilux 1 and the flash works as normal. However, when I tried with 1 + 2 + 3 + 4, the flash just won't fired. Not even with the Yashica or Minolta. I have also tried not attaching the flash to the cold shoe and still won't work. I have an old Canon small flash (built 1970s/1980s) and it works fine on my TLRs.
So my question here is, could it be the electronic flash is not compatible with mechanical TLRs?
BTW, I have also tried 2 + 3 and 2 + 3 + 4 on a Nikon FM2 and again I have the same negative results.
My next question is that, is there a way to make the Nikon flash works on a TLR? Thanking you all in advance. P/S.... I am unable to upload pictures here. Not sure why. It keeps asking for a URL.
Cheers
kai

You asked this same question before in this thread - where the hardware mentioned, and the answers offered, would still apply. The ability to upload images directly into the forum is no longer possible, so you have to host images somewhere else and insert them with a link. That is explained in this topic, along with details on using the gallery space available to forum members, for hosting your images.
