flash on M3 body

[thawkins]

Does anyone make an adapter so a modern day flash can be used on an M3 body? I know it excells as a low-light/avavilable light camera, but there are occasions I would like to use a small flash.

Flash adapters are available which will convert the M3 flash plug to PC. They are usually around $10.

You can get a small adapter to plug into the X terminal on the back of the top plate, then use a PC cord to power any standard flash. Adapters are somewhat scarce, but can be found if you search dealers & evilbay - mine way £5 from a dealer in London.

I, too, am on the hunt for one of those adapters. So if you have one to spare please let me know.

Thanks,

Thanks for all your helpful replies. Where can I find one of these adapters in the States?

There are some nice adapters selling on eBay these days, although the sellers are asking too much, IMO- like $25 each- crazy. I am considering asking Paramount Cords to make some cables with adapter built in, since they advertise a custom cord service. I expect I'll have to provide the adapters. Anyway, if anything happens on that front, I'll let you know.
