Here is a copy of info from Leica I received when I was building an IR release system for my R8. Re the attachments mentioned, it is available from the Binder connectors website. Or I could send it to you. Let me know. Rick. At first, you need the original connector: manufacturer: Binder (Germany), see http://www.binder-connector.de/e/index.html Type: 711 Order no: 99-0479-100-08 Contact arrangement of this connector is given in the attached document (711.pdf), see for the numbering of the eight pin type. Pin 1 is electrical Ground. Switch on camera: connect pin 1 to pin 8 longer than 20msec. Release camera: connect pin 1 to pin 2 longer than 120msec. Permanent connection will result in continuous release. On 14/02/2006, at 2:31 AM, Eric Korenman wrote: > I thought someone once posted it with pdf files.
