This item is junk. Don't trust it

Comments about Adorama Adorama Camera PC to Hot Shoe Adapter with Connecting Cord.:

First time I mounted my speedlight on this product the two halves of the adapter snapped. Fortunately I caught my flash in mid air before it hit the ground. Upon inspection, the top and bottom pieces are just glued together with a thin layer of glue. No screws at all holding the two pieces together. Don't trust your flash units on this product or you will be repairing broken flash units.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Camera PC to Hot Shoe Adapter with Connecting Cord.:

I bought this to use my Canon Speedlite 420EX with a recently purchased Mamiya RB67. Works very well. It's quite reliable although I had a problem once where the PC cord did not make good contact with the socket on the lens. I give it four stars, because it is a bit weak (i.e. the plastic mount kind of bends in a metal hot shoe).

Comments about Adorama Adorama Camera PC to Hot Shoe Adapter with Connecting Cord.:

Overall I think this is a good product. The construction is not the best, but its solidly built. I have had a couple issues with the pc cord staying in the socket on my camera but it stays in the socket of a radio flash transmitter fine.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Camera PC to Hot Shoe Adapter with Connecting Cord.:

I use this with an Minolta 320X flash for wireless shooting. I find it to be more reliable than using the hot shoe on the bottom of the flash. I know I'm not going to have a misfiring problem this way. The reason I gave this four out of five is because I do not like the feel of it. It's rather light weight and feels kind of cheap. I'm afraid to have the flash pointed a certain way cause I feel like the flash will fall out. So far it hasn't but the fear keeps me worried.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Camera PC to Hot Shoe Adapter with Connecting Cord.:

It works. I needed one for an older camera w/ PC Connector - and it works. Very flimsy, however, I can tell it won't last unless you're very careful w/ it.
