New SXi, old studio flash kit

PennySusan · 8th of November 2008 (Sat)

I'm wondering if there is a way to use my Novatron studio flash kit with my newer Sxi. I used to be able to attach a sync cord to my Nikon FM2 but I'm not seeing any place to do the same with my Canon. Any suggestions would really be appreciated!
Thanks

Ok, maybe I'm getting anxious. Maybe no one knows the answer, but maybe someone knows where I might go to find it...maybe.

You can get a "Hot-Shoe to PC Adapter" for your XSi. Something like this:

It's an XSi with dyslexia

lol...you guys got me there! I'm sorry that I sounded rushed. I guess I was a bit but it's ok. Did my shoot with ambient light and did some indoors using the model lights. Came out fine. I'll check out your suggestions. Thanks again!
