I built one to use with the *ist-D and Ds to use an old Kalart shoulder
stock, (mechanical trigger release). I had web page describing how but
I's not up any longer. You might be able to find a Mamiya Cable adapter
"RC-402" for not very much money. Used that a mini stereo plug from
Radio Shack a short piece of 4 conductor telephone wire, and lots of hot
glue. Yes it does work with the Bellows as well.

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.
