The Pentax Cable Switch F is a wired electronic remote shutter release cord specifically designed for older Pentax autofocus 35mm film cameras and medium format systems. It connects via a proprietary 3-pin inline electronic release socket on the camera body to safely trigger the shutter without introducing camera shake.
Key Features:
· Functionality: Electronic autofocus activation with a half-press, and shutter release with a full press. It features a slide-lock mechanism on the button to hold the shutter open continuously for long bulb exposures.
· Length: Typically available in standard lengths of 1 metre (approx. 3.3 to 3.5 feet) or longer 5-metre variations depending on the production run.
· Weight: Very lightweight at approximately 46 to 50 grams.
· Camera Compatibility
o Pentax 645 Series: Compatible with the original Pentax 645 and Pentax 645N. (Note: It is strictly not compatible with the later 645N II or digital 645 systems).
o Pentax PZ / Z Series: Fits models such as the PZ-1, PZ-1P, PZ-10, PZ-20, and Z-1P.
o Pentax ZX / MZ Series: Fits entry-level and mid-range film bodies like the ZX-5, ZX-7, ZX-M, MZ-3, MZ-5, and MZ-50.
o Pentax SF Series: Works with early autofocus SLRs like the SF1, SF1N, and SFX.
