Hi John, Thanks for the info. I don't yet own one but I'm sure I'll try to get my hands on one now. I needed small a cable remote for my *ist D and I didn't fancy paying the silly price that Pentax is charging so I cobbled up my own for very little cash. I found a very inexpensive source for suitable pre-moulded cables in a universal hands free mobile phone kit which uses the 2.5mm stereo plug (AU$1). I cut the mic and earpiece off, found some suitable momentary switches and a small piece of Vero board. I shaped the board and fitted the switches, I then soldered it and covered the assembly in epoxy cement to smooth the surfaces and to strengthen and protect it. http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio/temp/_igp4669.jpg It works well, the red button is the shutter and the black AF. It's perfect for inclusion in my pack as it's just over 16mm x 29mm x 11mm excluding the cable. It has no shutter lock however I really don't need one in this case (but it would be really easy to incorporate one). Total cost about AU$5.00 excluding labour :-) I intend to simply modify a Cable Switch F by fitting one on these cheap cables as my studio bound cable release.
