CS-205 extension?

Hi,

I've just purchased a third-party cable release for my imminent K10D. The release looks almost exactly like the official CS-205 cable release.

The only problem is, I'm thinking I might eventually want the cord to be a bit longer than the 3 feet it is. Looking at the connector, it looks like a standard stereo jack. Can I just go to Radio Shack and get a standard male/female stereo extension jack for it, do you think? Or is the jack somewhat proprietary and requires some sort of special extension cable?

Thanks!
Dave

If it's the Promaster cable (or any third party), you can just go to Radio Shack and Pick up and extension for it. I have one and just make sure that you get a three conductor (stereo) extension cord.
