It's not too hard to adapt a wired electronic remote release made for
these cameras to a physical plunger release. I did so for my PZ-1p. I
removed the button that tripped the two microswitches (one for AF, the
other for shutter) and replaced it with the cable release. Don't
remember how I attached it, but it was solid, no duct tape. It's
around here somewhere. If I find it in the next month or two, I'll let
you know :-)

I want to use my Bellows A with my K10D. I have the dual cable
release that stops the lens down and releases the shutter.
But the K10D digital doesn't have the socket for an old fashioned
cable release, it uses a electrical switch.
What I want is a remote socket with a switch, so that I can use
mechanical motion of the cable release to close the switch on an
electrical circuit. Doesn't have to initiate focus, just release the
shutter.
Looks like Canon used to make one, but no longer does.
Nikon made a dual release for their bellows with Nikon cameras
having only an electronic release. Has one mechanical and one
electronic pendant.
The only info I saw about either seems to indicate they're no longer
available or I might try to adapt one of them to my needs.
