3.5 Wiggle Fix - Cullmann Flash

[P3D <DBrockway@xxxxxxx>]

Any of you who use the Realist Flash adaptor know that your flash rig is apt
to wiggle just a bit, since there's a bit of 'untigthenable' play once the
adaptor is seated on the camera.

Well, Department of Dumb Luck: I bought a Cullmann SL28, a very inexpensive
flash, to use with my 3.5.

Since the unit was designed to function as a slave unit, it has a fold-down
bar under the flash-head so that the flash can stand independently. 

Well, guess what? The fold-down bar slips *perfectly* into the 'step' on the
front of the Realist, the little 'shelf' which contains the cable release
socket. It is almost as if someone designed this flash for Realist use.
Attach the flash to the adaptor, fold down the bar, and the flash is
lock-mounted rock-solid onto the camera.

The flash works quite well for fill-in, by the way.
