I've had a Novatron 240 light kit for a very long time. It connected to my old Nikon FM via a sync cord. Now with my Canon I'm wondering how I can connect them so I can still use it. Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks!
Oops, Xsi.

There are hotshoe to PC adaptors or you could go with wireless triggers.

Thank you for your answer. I'm not familiar with these. Is there any kind in particular I should look for?

If it's that old of a kit, do not connect it directly to the Canon. The trigger voltages could damage your camera.
I have a Novatron 600D kit, "D" meaning it's safe for digital. Yours likely isn't. You'll need a set of triggers that can handle high trigger voltages; connect one of the receivers to the trigger input of the power pack for your 240.
