Is is somehow possible to use an electronic flash with Yashicaflex C.
(no sychro selector .. that is Yashica C with Copal-MX -shutter).
It would take some sort of delay circuit, can't google them because "Flash M and X" produce zillions of answers.
Edit: something like this

Glow-in-the-Dark Trick
As you've read above, "M" sync on older shutters fires the flash before the shutter opens, usually ruining your photo with electronic flash.
On the other hand,what if you photographed something that glows in the dark? Yeah, the flash will pump it and your exposure will be made at the maximum glowing with no contribution from the flash. This is a cool trick for photographing phosphorescence. |
One could put a glowing filter in front of the flash ..
Edit edit edit:
Seems it is X after all. Now I can't see anything.
Let this remain here as a guide to testing procedure: Look at the flash thru the lens and fire shutter. If you can see the flash, then it must be X? _________________ MF: Kodak DCS SLR/c; Samsung NX10; OM-10; Canon T50
