question
Is this the correct cable release to use with Pentax 645z?
John, I bought the cable switch to use with my K5IIs and I do not know if this is compatible with the Pentex 645z.You may want to check out the Pentax Forum which is easy to find. You could ask your question on the forum and i am sure someone would know the answer. Sorry for the delay in responding but have been away from email for a couple of weeks.Dan

question
What cable should I purchase for use with the Pentax 645Z?
It depends on what kind of photos you are doing and your style. If you are old school and prefer the solid reliability of a wire, yes, use this Pentax Cable Switch 205. If you wish more flexibility and time lapse, you can still be wired but use this more sophisticated Vello ShutterBoss II Timer Remote Switch for Canon with Sub Mini Connection B&H # VERCC12. If you just need to be in the shot with the family or a selfie, use this. Pentax Waterproof Infrared Remote Control B&H # PERCWP.
