Hi John,
I asked this question some time ago. The remote cable release for the
MZ-6/ZX-L is "Cable Switch CS-205" which has a different plug to the cable
switch F, indeed it's a brand new plug that's not compatible with any other
cable release. B&H sell them.

I couldn't bring myself to spend that amount of money on something that is
*so* simple, and doesn't effect the optical quality of my photos, so I made
on myself.

A side effect of doing this is that you can choose the length of cable, the
type of switch, or even connect it to a break-out box on your computer and
have all sorts of programmed exposure fun.
The downside is that you may feel that it doesn't look professional enough
(I'll bite my tongue on that one).

I really like my MZ-6 (ZX-L), my only real problem with it is the viewfinder
magnification/quality. I don't own a 5n, so I cannot compare. To be honest I
prefer the "feel" of my Program A and the features of my MZ-6.

Cheers,
Simon

I have a difficult time getting information on the Pentax ZX-L camera. Even
though it's been out awhile
all I can find is the ZX-5n. Which cable release works with the ZX-L,the
205,F or both ? Also if anyone is using the ZX-L, how does it stack up
against the 5n ? Thanks.
Best,
John
