[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 291239, member: 12496"] It is common for flashes to omit the PC sync connector, since it can be used only for manual flash mode, and most users today are limited more to point&shoot, and don't know how to use manual or remote flashes. Yongnuo typically does always provide the PC sync connector. Nikon flashes, only on the top end model. You would think a manual flash would have it, but you could add a radio trigger instead. Or you can simply add an inexpensive adapter to the foot of the current flash to add a PC sync connector to it.
