I see the lens has two posts. My flash (the Sunpak 555) has a simple pc synch connector... I don't know how to get them to work together if at all.

Go to Paramont cords and order a Sunpak to Bi-post. If they do not have it in stock they will make it. Tell them you have 555 I'm not sure all sunpaks use the same input. Russ

I am not sure about your 555. Shutterbug ads state the 555 requires a dedicated module. Maybe that flash cannot be used as a manual flash. Paramont Cords should know though. Russ

Talked a dealer yesterday the 555 is a dedicated flash, but can be used manually. That means you have to either guess at the distance, or measure it to get you guide number/f-stop. Russ
