Cobra MD210 flashgun on Nikon D90
Hello there, I have a Nikon D90 and was looking around my house and found an old flash gun unit, it's supposed to be used on an old 35mm film camera. I was wondering if it is possible to sync it to a more modern DSLR, my Nikon D90? I have attached them but I have no idea how to sync them so when I press the shutter it will fire the flash. Thank you, David

Take care. Nikon does warn every user of the modern DSLR's not to use old flash guns. Old camera's were fitted with mechanical switches. In those days nobody cared about 5, 12 or even 100 volt on a flash gun. Modern camera's use electronic switches (transistor) and they only can survive when hooked up to modern flash guns, because these guns block high (above 5 Volt) voltages.
