I think is a normal female PC but on the Graflex manual is reported as DIN type connection..? Any helps? Thanks Giorgio |

DIN stood for Deutch Industrie Norm (which loosely translated is German Industrial Standards) was one of them. Another name was Practika/Contax post from which we get the current "PC" designation. C.

Kodak flash post (sometimes shortened to only one or two of those words.) 2. ASA (from American Standards Association) 3. Bayonet post. C. Henry |
