That reminds me ... I never did get flashbulb handle to plug into the 'FP' socket on my Pentax H3 to do high-speed flash sync. (The other plan was to convert the other H3 to make the FP socket do trailing-curtain sync, leaving the 'X' socket for normal first-curtain flash.) Even though I'm not shooting much film lately, I should get around to that just for the amusement value of being able to do such modern high-end stuff on cameras older than I am.
Thanks for the warning about the cable. I guess what I should do is find one cable that I can work with easily, and put a more manageable connector on the other end, then make my intervalometer and cable-release switch both plug into that (since I'll only be using on of those at a time).
On the *istD, one conductor activates the autofocus and the other trips the shutter. Both are simply activated by shorting them to the common conductor, so the only thing at all tricky about working with the connector is attaching the darned sub-mini plug.
