AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This vintage Kalart Master Automatic Speed Flash set is a collectible item from the mid-20th century, designed to add flash synchronization to older cameras.
The set includes an aluminium battery holder, a Paraplanatic reflector, a synchronizer unit, and instruction booklets.
The system uses traditional flash lamps instead of electronic flash units.
The original box shows detailed instructions for mounting on various camera models.
For sale: a Kalart Speed Flash, a classic and sturdy vintage flash unit from an earlier era of photography accessories. This flash has been tested and is working, comes fully complete in its original box with any included accessories, and offers a nice authentic example of analogue flash technology.
Technical specifications:
• Model: Kalart Speed Flash, vintage external flash
• Type: traditional flash unit, designed for use with flash tubes/lamps (not electronically modern)
• Synchronization: designed to work with traditional SLR and rangefinder cameras from the mid-20th century
• Mechanism: mechanical/electrical flash trigger and reflector (the reflector and synchronizers are part of the classic design)
• Construction: solid metal and bakelite components from a classic production era – characteristic of earlier studio/field flash units
• Included: original box and documentation/instructions where available
Kalart Speed Flashes like these were manufactured as external flash units that work with the mechanical synchronization systems of older cameras, and they form a valuable addition to a vintage camera collection. This is not a modern electronic hot-shoe flash, but an authentic classic flash with character and history. 
Condition: complete in box, working, cosmetically in nice vintage condition.
An excellent opportunity for collectors of vintage photography accessories or lovers of classic camera equipment. Shipped with care.
