Hi Adam, Thanks for your reply. I found some additional information about this connector. The male part that is in the cable departing from the lens is an E4-192J (or other type of E4-xxxx), manufactured by a japan company named Chuomusen. The mating connector I need starts with a D4-xxxx. I found them on the manufacturer's website, which is only available in japanese, and I couldn't find a USA distributor. Here it goes the link to the manufacturer's site (with pictures) http://www.qqq.co.jp/buhin/micro/index.htm Click on any one of the D4-xxxx links. I'm just about to give up on these connectors and simply cut the cable and install my own connector. What I found weird is that most (if not all) lens manufacturers use this connector, I'm astonished that I couldn't find a US distributor that would carry this part.
