ordering M2/M3 flash adapters in Europe?

[Teus]

I've seen M2/M3 flash to PC sync adapters on American Ebay and Adorama/B&H, but shipping to Europe would cost more than the adapter itself. Anybody knows where I can get them in Europe?

Good question. I'd be interested in a source for a Leica to PC sync cable (I find the adaptors to be kinda unreliable).

I guess one option, if you intend to use flash on an M2/M3 a lot, would be to have the socket changed for a modern PC version. I know Peter at CRR in the UK does that for not too much money.

Kaiser part no. 1313 -- 2004 catalogue. Probably still available, though I couldn't find it on their site.

Cheers,

R.

Teus, if you send me your adress I will be happy to ship you a couple of them. For some reaon I have a handful of them and as I have sworn of flash use, I rtaher give them to you. Next time we are in Belgium, you can always buy me a Leffe!

that's very kind of you Tom. Would a nice trappist beer be fine as well? ;-)

Teus, even better, but flash adaptors are not that valuable - OK you buy the first and I pick up the second round!
