Thanks for the advice.  The slaves did come with the adapters.  As long as they 
work at short range, I'm happy.

Be aware that the Paramount Cords adapter requires a lot of force in 

order to fully insert the flash shoe.  It's designed that way with a 

taper upward from back to front.  If you don't get the flash in far 

enough it won't make contact and won't work.  When I got the first one I 

thought (briefly) that it must be defective until I realized that the 

back of the flash foot was still protruding a bit too much.



Also be aware that some sellers of radio slaves on ebay have begun to 

cut corners by offering units without all the normal complement of 

adapter plugs and/or PC to miniphone cables.  Be sure all the parts are 

there before you buy.  And don't be too surprised if you're ebay slaves 

don't work nearly as well as advertised.  QC is non-existent.
