IMG_5098.jpg[/ATTACH]maybe this cellphone photo would have turned out better if I had set one off.. but here are a few of my cameras that use bulbs, Argoflex model E, Ansco Automatic reflex, (I borrow the big King Sol flash off the argoflex when I want to shoot bulbs), Argus Autronic 2 (one of the last american made 35mm cameras from 1964), and in the front right, a universal Mercury 2, the mercury cameras were the very first to use a "hot shoe" flash mount. this one takes the big edison base bulbs, with an adapter for the smaller posrtwar bulbs. One reason flashbulbs hung on so long, as that early color films were very slow, you need a LOT of light to shoot indoors! in the 50's Kodachrome was ASA 10 or so. Early electronic flashes were not bright enough for such slow film.
