I recently got a 3 cell graflex flash with side brackets that look like they would snap right in to the bracket of a large graflex. I have a Century (mini) graflex however. It has
a range finder on the side with a flat piece of metal on it. I am wondering how one attaches the flash to the Century?

Thanks for any advice.

Assuming you have the graflite clamps you have a couple of options. Find a plate and attach it to the rangefiner plate. Or find a universal mount that screws to the tripod hole in the bottom of the camera, and has the proper graflite bar on it. These show up from time to time on ebay. This Universal adaptor can also be use on other cameras if they have M sync for flashbulbs. Russ

A third option also is to remove the strap, the graflite clamps will fit the strap mounts on the left side of the camera. Russ

Or, get a Heiland clamp. THe type with the big knob will fit your Graflite and will allow you to attach it to the rail on the rangefinder. I do this myself.
