I have been stumped by what is the purpose of this product. It looks to have a photo diode on the end some resistors a capacitor, something that looks like a transistor and a socket. All encapsulated in some resin. Comes in a case with a special cut out. My first thought, it was some light sensing switch. Has anyone anything like this??. |

A photo flash slave trigger? |

Well I'll be, I learnt something new today. |

Are they still manufactured? No modern camera or flash still use that old connector. You could buy these over 40 years ago ... |
