No, the KX was the same size as the KM and K1000, but it would have a clearly visible f stop periscope, like the MX. It was heavier than the K1000, earlier tech and probably better made, though probably not noticeably so in early K1000 bodies. The K2 had a slightly lower top plate, and I

That's kind of why I didn't mention the KX. The KM was a KX without the f stop periscope, and the old CDS metering system lifted almost directly from the Spotmatic F, (the circuit boards are interchangeable), the K1000 was basically a KM without a self timer and DOF preview lever. IIRC the

Cat 6 has a plastic core that keeps the four pairs separated. This gives it higher bandwidth, but makes it bigger and stiffer. What bandwidth do you need to transmit over the cable? The 5e should be less springy and may be sufficient electrically, especially for only 30m or so. Steve
