Many pentaksisty manufacture cable for cameras MZ independently. The reason for this lies in the unnecessarily high prices for branded accessories, called Cable Switch F and Cable Switch CS-205. Nothing to be done – any company trying to make money on aksussuarah. Pentax – no exception.
At the same time to produce such a product itself has always been a force anyone. This usually took the cable connector from the computer audio cable for CD-drives, and two switches (or buttons) chosen from the fact that there was at hand. The closure of the upper and lower pins on the camera system activates the autofocus (AF, see the figure). The closure of the upper and middle contacts of the shutter (shutter).

It is no secret, often as a glass of Russian photographers use lens hood with attached lids from the lenses. It is not only bad for your health, but also fraught with various special cases in the case of loose covers. Use as a cup of containers from the film even more malicious.

The body of the proposed product is made from special plastic that is certified for the manufacture of utensils, so use it (the body) in the bottom of the cup as absolutely safe for the health of the photographer. Options for alternative use of the proposed cable represented in the photographs.
Note: The author does not take the liberty to recommend that we drink a cup for filling. That’s everyone decides for himself …:)

If the tether on the company’s CS-205 polunazhata shutter release button, the pins 1 and 2 are closed. In this position the light meter and autofocus camera included. When complete press the button all three contacts (1, 2 and 3) are closed to each other, and is the shutter.
Cable is the audio jack 2,5 mm are produced by many producers of accessories for photographic and video equipment. If a firm cable Pentax for you roads, and homemade do not want to, then a reasonable alternative may be the acquisition of a similar product from another manufacturer.
In selling, you can also find adapters audio jack 2,5 mm to 3,5 mm audio jack. Such an adapter can be used for manufacturing cable cable connector from the old headphones. However, I can not recommend this solution, as an extra split mechanical contact does not contribute to high reliability of the product.
