p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · M3 flash sync troubleshooting


Hello, I am the new owner of a 1960-61 M3. This morning I received a PC sync adapter so that I can use the M3 with flash.

Unfortunately when I went to try it, the flash would not fire. The combo I used (Nikon SB-30 + PC-hotshoe adapter) has never failed me on any other PC camera. This morning I verified that it still works fine on every other camera I own that has a PC port.

So obviously, there is something wrong with the camera or something wrong with the Leica-to-PC adapter. How can I go about diagnosing which one is at fault?

I own a multimeter, but I pretty much only know how to use it test batteries. But I am sure there is some way it can be used to test whether the camera is closing a circuit during exposure?

Thanks!
