    ASA bayonet. Sometimes unofficially called a "Kodak" plug, since they were just about the only ones who used it.

    Someone on Ebay sells them----search for
    ASA Kodak Bayonet to PC Female Flash cord
    Thanks, but I'd rather just watch:

    thanks! got it.

    At some point in the past i had a lens with a short and metal adapter, nothing like what that ebay seller is offering, but it will do the trick.

    Interesting. I have a flash with the other side of this connection. I'll consider reading this post a bonus?
