Hi Leon,
Do you mean having the remote mechanically trigger a cable release to
your bellows lens at the same time as electronically triggering the
D/DS? I don't think so. I took mine apart and this is what it looks like:

quality of the pic - I've had some wine).
There isn't much travel on the switch on the remote. You need a good
deal for a mechanical cable release.

Hi Derby,
I would like to find a remote that I can screw in an old manual
release into so that I can use it with my bellows. I made one about 5
years ago, but couldn't find a neat box to use for the switch. Do you
think there is any chance of modifying the one you have to accept a
manual release?

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.
