The bulbs are indeed the way to go when one wants to march to the beat of a dfferent drummer. I was fortunate enouhg to lay in a supply of bulbs several years ago from a a small operation going out of business and from poking around various tables at the annual local photo tag sale. When the local public library sponsored a 50s dance a few years ago and asked me to do some photos for their publications, I showed up with a load of bulbs, a CTOOM bracket, and a CEYOO flash along with the M3 whose use I justified by noting its introduction in 1954. Of course, beforehand I did check the M sync ith a strip of enlarging paper. The pictures turned out fine, and the curious looks from the photographer from one of the daily papers were gratifying.
