Well said Cotty, you just sold a great idea for FREE to Ricoh - Pentax, a simple student's stripped down manual focus camera with no bells and whistles. The basics can never change from our old box cameras to today's flashy DSLRs - a light tight box, time - aperture - ISO - focus. But Pentax has crippled the lens mount - no aperture. What a shame. Even the useful screw on cable release has gone.
I've been looking for a simple electric switch that would work with a mechanical cable release.
One end takes the old fashion universal mechanical cable release - the other end has the mini-jack that fits the socket on the K10D or K20D.
Inside is a simple push button switch. Press the plunger on the cable release and the push button switch makes the circuit at the mini-jack end firing the shutter.
I'd make my own if I could find a socket for the cable release that didn't require me to tear apart an old camera.
