can someone help me identify this mystery aftermarket connector attached to the camera i just bought?
it's an Olympus Trip 505. the connector is a brown ZIF connector containing three pins side-by-side. extending from the back of the connector is a ribbon cable that goes inside the camera through the space between the film door and the camera's body. the connector is attached (barely) to the body with a tiny screw.
i didn't notice the connector before i bought the camera, and the person who sold it to me says they have no clue what it is.
of course, without seeing where the ribbon cable goes, identifying the function of the connector will be tough... unless this is a common modification that someone can recognize. i've got a roll of film in the camera now, so i'm unable to disassemble the camera to investigate on my own.
