Does anyone use a flash on their FSU camera?

If so can you post some photos, I'm curious whether to carry my flash with me for my Zorki-C...Also please post which flashgun you use :)

If you use flash with a Zorki-C be aware that you should turn the flash off when you wind -on to prevent unwanted discharge.
 
And the flash needs to plug into a PC terminal, not a hot shoe.

Sorry for stating the incredibly obvious, but I have seen a couple instances of people wondering why their flash didn't work when plugged into an all-metal accessory shoe.

Haha that would have been fun to see :D.
 
One other tip - assuming you're using an electronic flash - don't forget to set the synchroniser to a delay of zero and use only 1/25th (or 1/30th, whichever it has) or B.

I have used a Sunpak Auto28SR gun and a Plusblitz EF30 on my FSUs. Almost any electronic flash will work as along as it's not a dedicated-only type and it has a PC-cord.
 
Aye, I've got quite a few flashes I can try, I'll probably use my newest one though which I used to use with my Leica. Should be interesting to see shots in 1/25th though!!!
