Wireless flash triggering is quick, cheep,easy and safe. I just discovered there is a port for the remote flash (I'm slowly working my way through the manual)but is there something that will plug into this port and adapt to a PC Sync cable?
I'm still learning how to use my camera and all of the great features. My nearest camera store is 90 miles one way, so I've got to purchase off the internet. Wireless would be sweet, but I'm okay with cable and can buy some wireless flash after I've gotten established and making a little money again. What are some Other Solutions? What am I missing? I've looked at the Pixel Pawns but they look like they need a Sony flash to fit on the remotes. The cheap adapter doesn't mention that feature. I do find adapters for $12 on eBay but I've read that the Sony model has circuitry to prevent flash feed back that will ruin the camera. One Solution: Sony makes one for $175, but funds are limited and I can't afford that. I don't have the money to invest in new lights and I need an adapter that will fit on the hot shoe with a PC Sync port. Problem: I want to use off camera flash and my old Norman and Photogenic lights for studio work and my Sunpak 333 for location work, but they use the old PC Sync cable and the Sony a350 doesn't have a port. WOW has it ever changed with digital! I sold my Bronica ETRS and bought a Sony A350 and two Minolta lenses to get back into photography. History: I used to shoot professionally back in the late 80s and early 90s when photography was a different world.
