need remote shutter switch for a digital camer to use with a vivitar PG-1

Hi, I am hoping some one here can help. I just picked up a Vivitat PG-1 grip cheep and need a remote swith for my *ist DL. I already have the mini stereo jack and wire but finding a switch that wiil work has been futile. I would like not to have to modify the grip to much but for the price I paid for it that is not an issue. An idea I had was to pull a switch out of some broken camera.

Thanks
Carl

Have you checked electronics catalogues? It sounds like what you want is some sort of 2 stage (one to focus, one to release the shutter) spring return normally open pushbutton, but I haven't looked at a remote wiring diagram for a while.

These guys US - Electronic Components Distributor | Newark.com DigiKey Corp. | Electronic Components Distributor | United States Home Page Mouser Electronics - Electronic Component Distributor stock tens of thousands of types of switches between them.
