An electronic flash attachment accommodates plural circuits, one of which is used for differing types of cameras and others of which are each used for a particular respective type of camera. The flash attachment has a contact socket with contact elements electrically connected to the plural circuits. A connector module is removably provided on the flash attachment and can be replaced by a different connector module for a different type of camera. The connector module has a first face provided with first contact elements which engage those of the contact-socket contact elements associated with those of the plural circuits which are to be used with the type of camera for which the connector module is intended. The connector module has a second face configured to be received in a camera's flash-attachment mounting shoe and provided with second electrical contacts electrically connected to the first and so disposed as to conductively engage the contact elements with which such mounting shoe is provided.
