I’m looking for the Contax TLA Adapter II (cable connection to a Contax TLA 480 flash unit). As an alternative, I could purchase a junk unit or ultimately a complete flash unit at reasonable price. My e-mail address is robertomatteoli1964@gmail.com

Hello roberto and welcome to the Forum! I know it is the Adapter II you need but I have only ever seen those for sale on their own in Japan - but not recently. There never has been a 'reasonably priced' TLA480 as you have probably discovered; there's a complete 'untested' set on eBay for $799 (or best offer) from a Japanese seller. However, there is another set on Yahoo Japan's auction site which is described as 'junk' selling for $93 and of course that includes the Adapter II. If you are in Europe, you can't bid on Yahoo auctions in Japan BUT if you go through a proxy site like fromjapan.co.jp you can still bid for or buy it - and you get some favourable shipping options. There is an Italian photo shop in Modena which occasionally has TLA480s - it's always worth checking Foto Dotti for any Contax gear. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful; the TLA480 and its Adapter II is a very difficult combination to find - as you know... Good luck. |
