That's the Canon style ones. They were strong, BUT those screws were always
working their way out and getting lost if you didn't locktite them.


Yes, and I always wrapped colored tape over the connector and screws for
cable identification anyway. Never got lost after that even if they came
loose.

Also the boot materials decayed.


But not as quickly with canon as the cheap imitations.
