Yes, but the remote cable is the same as the MZ-6/ZX-L/*ist, not a proprietary connector but a simple jack ! Home made recote cord is easy to make: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/krg/Photo/bricolage.htm#Télécommande And the /ist D has a IR remote receptor. Michel

Bill OTOH, PZ-1 and ZX-5n do use the same remote, and I assume their respective immediate siblings do also. For a time, they did have remote cable compatibility. I guess that's something else left behind in the good ol' days.

I wouldn't have said that it looks 100% made to measure. It's probably quite appropriate for Pentax to keep future versions of the *ist D to a similar size Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _ Free UK Mac Ads www.macads.co.uk

RE: Nice review for istD
It may also fit futre DSLRs, but that would break with Pentax usual marketing which has a different grip, remote etc for each model - just to keeps the bucks rolling in I guess! They may have had lens compatibility in the past, but never grip compatibility! If you ask nicely I will show you just how well it does fit... -Original Message- From: Cotty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 October 2003 17:39 To: pentax list Subject: Re: Nice review for istD On 15/10/03, [EMAIL PROTECTED] disgorged: http://www.megapixel.net/reviews/pentax-ist/pentaxist-review.html Is it just me or does that grip on the *ist D look like it might also attach to another Pentax DSLR in the future?
