Conclusion: Extendable!
Review: If you don't like the short length of the cable you can extend it by getting an extension cable. This is just a standard stereo cable but it works with the cable release. I bought this one: 12 foot 2.5mm extension cable and it works great. The male end doesn't "snap in" on the camera, but it isn't loose enough to fall out.
I've used the cable release with the extension a couple of times and it works great. I imagine you could probably chain them if you wanted to be really far from the camera, but I haven't tried it.
Overall, a great and useful tool.

Conclusion: Pentax Electronic Cable Switch
Review: Gave this product 4 stars (instead of 5) because I do find it a bit pricey for what it is (basically a push button at the end of a length of cord). That having been said, the little gadget works like a charm and is totally indispensible for owners of a Pentax Digital Camera (film camera cable switches are not compatible with digital formats).
The Pentax K10D digital camera, by the way, which I also purchased from Amazon, is probably the best camera in its price range that I have ever owned and used (we're talking more than 15 cameras here!). Solid, sturdy, full-featured and user-friendly, this camera is suited for the advanced photographer as well as for the amateur. You can set dials until the cows come home (according to the effects you want to achieve) or you can simply point and shoot. Either way, the resulting photos are breath-taking. Color is right on, details are sharp, and taking pictures is a joy! I've never enjoyed a camera more.

Conclusion: Works great
Review: This is a real handy tool for close up photography - I use it to minimize camera shake and to allow me to hold my flash and walk it around to test various lighting setups - only real drawback is it could have a longer cord.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: handy tool
Review: the Pentax cable release is a very handy tool, works all the desired functions including bulb mode and multi-exposures however for the price the cord could be longer, it's only 18". 3' would of been nice.

Conclusion: Great Capture
Review: Works as described. Lock position is great for the long exposures that I love so much.
