The Pentacon Six has a standard synchronisation socket for attaching a cable from a flashgun.  Well, not quite standard.  Round the socket there is a small wheel that can be rotated to lock the cable in place.  (You will not find this wheel on the Exakta 66.  Nor on the Kiev 60 or Kiev 88-6/ B.i.G.-Six / 88CM.)
