I'm probably not looking in the right place, but is there any flash unit appropriate to my 1940ish Minature Speed Graphic that I can burn my pile of GE 22's in? My 3 cell with 7" reflector looks a bit ... huge... but if that's the best there is, that's fine. I'd just like to have a better idea than I've found here thus far.

TIA,

William

You could get a two cell with a five inch reflector. Getting the old Synchronizer might be very difficult (and expensive) but a Heiland or newer Graflite flash should be much easier. I don't have any other ideas but there's folks here who know a whole lot more about flashes than I do...

I have a Kalart Speed Flash like this:

It looks good on my Mini Speed. Don't know why the seller calls it a strobe. It's strictly for flash bulbs. Fred.
