Digital camera reviews of Pentax Electronic Cable Switch for Pentax Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Does what it's supposed to do.
Summary: 5 Stars
Pretty simple remote, works on many of the Pentax slr and Dslr bodies. I like the fact it doesn't just release the shutter, but also operates the AF. It will come in handy on long exposures.Digital camera Review: Expensive, but if you need it...
Summary: 4 Stars
Obviously, the price of this thing is a turnoff. But consider what it can do for you. I use it for macro and nature photography. There are remote options and competing products from other manufacturers, but Pentax's own accessory seems to be readily available, and you know it's going to work reliably with the camera. I admit that I hated departing with that much money to buy this product, but it delivers what I want and reliably so. I'm happy.Digital camera Review: Extendable!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you don't like the short length of the cable you can extend it by getting an extension cable. This is just a standard stereo cable but it works with the cable release. I bought this one: 12 foot 2.5mm extension cable and it works great. The male end doesn't "snap in" on the camera, but it isn't loose enough to fall out.
I've used the cable release with the extension a couple of times and it works great. I imagine you could probably chain them if you wanted to be really far from the camera, but I haven't tried it.
Overall, a great and useful tool.
Digital camera Review: Fast shipping!
Summary: 5 Stars
The cable release works like a charm. The cable could be longer but I have not found it to be a problem. Shipping was very fast. I received the item in less than a week.Digital camera Review: Great Capture
Summary: 5 Stars
Works as described. Lock position is great for the long exposures that I love so much.
