The soft shutter release has quite a different feel compared to the shutter release button on the camera. The soft shutter release has a longer throw than the button on the camera, maybe about twice as long. I quite like it.

The first one might be a soft shutter release, intended to make the moment of shutter release shake free.

The second one is a double cable release intended for bellows and a special bellows macro lens.
Thank you for providing interesting information. Do you know what cameras the "soft shutter release" can be used with? Can it be used with any Pentax M42 and K-Mount SLR?

I am sure that the cable release goes with the Pentax Auto Bellows A set. I have the identical item with my bellows set. Your first item is one I have not seen before, it's obvious what it does but not where it does it! I have the Bellows Set manual in front of me and there is no mention of this little release button nor does it appear in any of the photographs...but.... I am quite sure somebody here will know

Thank you! These two items came as parts of a collection of several Pentax mechanical shutter release cables/devices. These two have "no relation" to each other.

I have recently purchased a small collection of mechanical Pentax shutter release cables. There are two items I need some information about. What usage are these aimed at?

Only 382 shots taken. I believe this is a good price??

Excellent photography. I really enjoy watching images from this beautiful part of the UK (I would love to travel to the Lake District myself one day).

Thank you Mike! I have now ordered the Brotect screen protector for my K-5iis.

Thanks everyone for good advice! I am having no luck finding any of these screen protectors for my K-5iis yet. Maybe the Pentax K-5 range is simply too old and outdated (a bit like myself - ha ha)
