There is a regular PC Sync Terminal on the side of the Maxxum 7. Just twist off the cap and you'll see it. You can get a PC Sync cord from www.paramountcords.com. They make very good cords. If you want to go wireless, you can try the PocketWizard Digital Radio slave. A good light meter like Sekonic L-358 is recommended to do studio shoot.

I think the wireless flash is non-ttl.
 
From my understanding the Maxxum 7 does meter the wireless flash and turns it off when the proper exposure has been determined.
