I didn't know about the compatibility with Cannon (someone else
also suggested this on the pentax-users mailing list).
I'll check both E-bay, DealExtreme, etc., unfortunately there are
a few disadvantages:
* I hope they ship in Romania;
* it will take forever to get them; (2-3 weeks at least if from China;)
* I'll have to go to customs (if not shipped from EU), and I have
no idea what fee they'll apply (it also depends on the customs officer
"mood");

There is a single Pentax reseller in Romania that has it, and as
I've said on the pentax-users mailing list:

As a side note about costs, in Romania where I live, the CS-205
from Pentax costs about 35 pounds (after roughly applying exchange
rate), and the "home made" parts at most 2 pounds. I don't want to be
cheep, but paying for the CS-205 almost 10% of the camera cost seems a
little bit too much... (And unfortunately there is only one Pentax
reseller.)

This means roughly 50 US$ only for the basic CS-205 version...
