exactly what you mean when you say "plugs straight into something,
instead of ending at a right angle plug". The bipost end of this
cord ends at a right angle if that means anything. Side view looks
something like the letter F. So I'm assuming then, that bipost are
pretty close to around 1/4" apart? Also, can you go from the bipost
on the lens straight to your studio lights?
Thanks,

: I bet that cord is for a Focuspot, the little light which
attaches to the top of your rangefinder and, when plugged in and
activated, shines through the rangefinder to project 2 images. When
those images meet on a subject, you are focused on it. I've never
thought to check the dimensions of those posts before. If your cord
plugs straight into something, instead of ending at a right angle
plug, then most likely that's what you have. Of course, the
question then is whether you have a focuspot attached? It might
have been removed before you got it.
