Manufacturer description
LEOTAX MODEL S with built-in Flash-synchronizer
LEOTAX-35 Camera is provided with two flash-synchronization terminals:
1) Red (Upper) terminal - for normal focal-plane shutter flash bulbs such as: West #6, #6A, #6B (for color), GE #31, Silvania #2A.
2) Green (lower) terminal - for between-the-lens shutter flash bulbs such as: West #5, #11, GE #5, #11.
Using the red terminal with focal-plane-shutter bulbs, choose any higher shutter speeds than 1/30th of a second.
When between-the-lens shutter bulbs are used, connect your flash cord to the green terminal and set the shutter speeds lower than 1/20th of a second. In this case, it is recommended to use tripod for keeping the camera steady while the shutter is in action.
LEOTAX FLASH B.C.B. will render perfect performances in synchronization at every shutter speed of Leotax camera.
From the editor
Essentially the same as the Leotax D IV, but with two flash-synchronization terminals. The standard lenses were the same as with the Leotax D IV.
