The pentax hot shoe extension cord that I picked up when I bought my

pretty well, but it only has a convenient reach of about 6 feet
before the pull on the coiled cable gets to be a problem.
Does anyone have any wireless hot shoe extension cables that they'd
like to recommend?
I use the non-coiled 95 food F5PL with a couple of adapters for snow
crystal shooting. The non-coiled cord works much better in the cold. I
don't need that much length. For in the field macro work I use a third
party coiled cord that may be 5 or 6 feet if pulled all the way out,
but in practical terms is only 3 or 4 feet long.
I find the Pentax flash cord system to be over engineered, expensive,
but very flexible. Must be hold over from their 'pro' grade days...

Um - that should be the *9.5* foot F5PL cord....
