Somewhere in my camera junk box I have an elastic/velcro gizmo that wraps around a small camera and includes a threaded cable release socket with delrin push button, specifically designed to do the shutter release without damaging the button on cameras that don't have port for a remote. But guess what? The expensive electrical remote transmits less vibration to the camera and works better. But yes, I still keep an 8" cable release in my tripod kit bag, for the Leica M9, M4-2, CL, and other cameras that use it. Along with the electrical remote for each of my cameras that have that capability (E-1 and GXR at present). I wish I had RF remotes for all my cameras, that works better for me. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
