Mark's Chinon S-240 flash Page
2-7-24: This flash came with the Chinon CE-4 no 2, on which you just set the shutter on Auto. It sets the shutter speed, and flashes the 1/60th sync speed to show it's ready. Takes 4 x AA batteries, uses a hot shoe, or a PC socket. Don't know yet if the sync cord will arrive with the unit, it usually doesn't. It's guide number, for folks that enjoy long division, is 80. This is a thyristor flash, so math shouldn't be necessary.Click on any image to enlarge full screen in a new tab. Close tab to return.
