#blink# Well that certainly changes my cost-benefit analysis.
Look for a remote shutter release for a Canon Digital Rebel. Works
fine

I hate to be a buzzkill, but
I sent an FA* 300mm F4.5 lens back to Colorado for repair a few years ago.
It came back to me horrible mis-calibrated (blurry at all apertures), so I
sent it back. The second time I got it back it was dialed in and very
sharp.
I sent my DA* 16-50 back this
As I have posted before, this NEVER existed in the PENTAX screwmount
era, EVERY lens was tested TWICE, once in JAPAN and again in USA

them is another issue altogether. Thats why

The cable remote release is just a two circuit switch. One switch

But you can buy the Canon Remote Switch RS-60E3 from BH Photo for
$25 that works perfectly as a replacement for the $40 Pentax CS-201,
or go to Ebay and
