Re: Question about shutter release cables

[Emiliano Rial Verde]

I molded a plug for my ZX-50 with 2-component epoxy glue. I encapsulated 
inside three small gold female connectors that mate with the connectors 
in the camera. With a smal file I shaped the epoxy block to fit. It has 
been working for a couple of years now. That's how I connect the my 
camera to the focus and shutter release buttons of my underwater camera 
housing.

You can make adaptors or cables for almost nothing this way.

Subject: Question about shutter release cables

...........

So, I was wondering... does anyone here know (and is willing to share that 
knowledge ;-)) if ALL pentax electric able release switches operate on this 
same priciple? Because if so, I can simply make plug adapters for the 
different systems, and use the MZ-6's cable to operate all cameras. I'd be 
happy to put the "how-to" drawings on the web somewhere.

And yes, I'm cheap ;-).

And rather unlucky.  If you find an "adaptor" for any of the (as far as I can find 
out) custom Pentax fittings, be sure to let the list know.  There are rather a lot of us who 
will be wanting to do the same.  Which is why Pentax has made them themselves....
