As already mentioned, there is no adapter available from Canon. You could purchase a 1000-T3 cord and a 1000-N3 cord... cut them both and solder 2.5mm plugs and jacks. The 2.5mm plug could go directly to the EOS 300 and 7E, or adapt to a T3 for EOS 5. I've done this before - but the one caveat is that the wires in the cords don't solder very well - you must be careful. -- Dave Herzstein email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kjsl.com/~dave * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
