I have a 4x5 RB Super D. I know its focal plane shutter will only sync at a tightly wound 1/1000, which doesn't seem practical, so I'm thinking of using the (approx) 1/5 sec "drop shutter" setting. Will a Metz 45 or 60 sync be triggered by this? Also, are the older CT models okay to use with a Super D, or will a CL work better? Or - is there some other kind of flash I should consider? I'd prefer to be able to use the SLRness of the Super D, so I'd prefer not to have to use a lens shutter. Thanks, and sorry again for the basic questions... | ||

Yes, a Metz flash will work but you'll need a cable that will fit the camera's sync terminal at one end and the flash at the other. | ||

So I don't need to worry about M sync or X sync or anything else like that, and I don't need to worry about the much higher voltage of the older models? Like I said, I have just enough info to be dangerous, not enough to actually know anything. | ||
