pc sync flash question?

[pavost]

I just bought a RB67 ProS intending to use it for portraits in studio. But found out my Godox flash doesn't have a pc sync port.

I found this adapter on Ebay;

Would this be what I'm looking for? If not what would I need?

I believe what you are looking for is called a "Hot Shoe to PC Adapter". It has no flash connections on the "foot", normally just a plastic foot with a PC connection and hot shoe to accept your flash. It cost less than USD 10 at BH Photo in the USA (for example).

Note: When employing electronic flash with some RB67 lenses, you may need to set the M-X selector to X to synchronize flash at any shutter speed. Some lenses have only an 'X' type flash connection (I understand that 'M' is for flash bulbs).

I can't tell from the poor picture it that particular item is what you need.

You need an adapter with a hot shoe connected to a cord with a PC plug like this one:

There are adapters that are the inverse of what you need, having a hot foot, often with an addition cold shoe, and a PC socket for connecting a hot shoe only camera to a PC only flash.

Shimokita is correct. If the lens has an M/X switch it is critical that you set it to the X setting when using electronic flash. The X setting is zero delay while the M setting delays the shutter release by 15 milliseconds to allow medium class flashbulbs to reach their full brightness. If you use an electronic flash on the M setting the flash will have finished its burn and gone dark long before the shutter opens.
