I've been very happy with my ERTSi/Metz setup but, looking through
my Metz 60 CT-4 book, it implies strongly that I should be able to do
'second curtain sync' or 'delayed flash sync' with it but I can't
figure out how. I've got the SCA 386 TTL adapter for the Bronica/Metz
combo but no book for the adapter and can't find it online anywhere.
Is this a capability of this combo or not? Anyone know how I can do
this manually if its not an inherently supported feature?

thanx much,

On the back of your SCA adapter, do you have a three position slide
switch? Should have something like S.B , then a symbol for normal sync,
then a symbol for rear curtain sync. Don't remember what the S.B is.

The second courtain sync is only for focal plane shutters. The Bronica
has a leaf shutter between lens.

Not quite true.
Though curtains are oly found in focal plane shutters, this type of
synchronization is also possible with leaf shutters.
What you need is a mechanism that fires the flash, not the moment the leafs
have cleared the aperture fully, but the moment they start closing again.

Yes, it will be very interesting to have the possibility to sync not
when the leafs reach the max. open position, but just before they start
to close.

Anyway, answering the initial question: neither the Bronica lenses nor
the SCA 386 adapter has a delayed sync built inside.

Regards
