Jim, I recently had a CLA (clean, lube and adjust) done to my M2. At that time I had the synch terminal changed to the current PC connection. One twist you might want to consider (and which I had done) is to have both terminals connected for X synch. That way it doesn't matter which you plug into (assuming you use electronic flash of course) because it will always synch. The little icon on the body will be incorrect but you'll know the difference. The downside: If you want to preserve the camera for its collectability rather than its functionality. It's nice not having the adapter poking me in the forehead anymore. Carl Socolow
