I know that the bits to make a remote switch for the DS can probably
be had for about 5 bucks (or more or less free if you work in a
company that makes electronic devices, like I do). I had thought about
making an adapter for the Cable Switch F so I can use it on either the
DS or the PZ1. Not that I'm likely to be using the PZ1 much anymore.
But I do like a well made cable - that won't come from me.
These guys are selling remote switches on ebay for $AU20 (plus shipping).

Canon version, but look on ebay for the Pentax).
Mine arrived today. Much larger than the Pentax CS-205, but that's a
plus for me. I hate fiddling around for a small switch, especially
when I'm shooting night shots. Like the Pentax, it is a combo switch
and slider lock, which is much nicer than the Cable Switch F
two-finger action. The cable is twice as long as the CS-205.
Hi Derby,
I've been looking at these too, and plan on purchasing one next week.
Your feedback is indeed timely! :-)
Ciao,
Peter in Sydney
