Hello everyone, I was tring to get a vivitar 283 up and running with a 2x3 pacemaker with Flash Supermatic (F-M). After researching the synch capabilities of this combo, I'm left with 2 problems. First, The set-up doesn't appear grounded because I get a slight "BZZZ" when tryiny to fire the shutter from the body release. Could this be the shutter contacts or maybe the vivitar itself? I've used the 283 with another X synch supermatic on a 4x5 I have so I know the cord/flash works. Also I've seen some different advice as how this will X synch. I've seen people say that if you don't engage the delay this shutter will x synch but the only way it fires the flash is to engage the delay timer.Anyone run into anything similar to either problem?? thanks

| The Kodak Flash Supermatic normally has two sets of contacts. One set is employed only when you set your delay for F or M lamps. The second one always makes contact when the shutter is wide open, for X sync. I've seen shutters that needed the X sync contact "re-formed" or cleaned to get it to work. Fred. |
