Can I use my whitelightening lights on my old school hassleblad 500cm? What do I need to use properly?

THanks,

Yes. The lights do not care what kind of camera they are attached to, and will work exactly the same on this camera. At the minimum, you camera will have a PC sterminal on the lens and/or body which can be used with the cable supplied with the lights. If you are using remotes, then they can go into the hotshoe (if the body has one), or can be connected to the PC terminal. Depending on your remotes, they may or may not have come with the appropriate cable (Our CyberSync and RFT1 remotes both included this cable).

Not knowing the age of your lens, check to make sure you're on "X" not "M" sync.
