Trying to find an adapter (which i know exists) to a more common PC sync style but having a hard time identifying the name of what i need.

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

The early Polaroids also used it.

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.

That page works, but i can't open the rest of the site.

I will be needing a #40 tip to HH soon. I'll call next week.

You're thinking of this:

I don't think I'd want to put that much leverage on my shutter.

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