    funny U should ask...I have one. I bought it on Amazon.co.uk but it was not described as remote for SA-7...it was for another Sigma camera but they were compatible so I was happy.

    yep, it's called a Sigma RS-21 Remote.
    This is where I purchased mine, they still have them in stock:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sigma-RS-21-Remote-Controller-SD-9/dp/B000071779/sr=11-1/qid=1164959932/ref=sr_11_1/202-2701930-3986216

    I haven't used it a whole lot, just for some tripod shots alright but since then I have gone digital (Nikon D80). The SA-7 was my first foray into SLRs. I still have it and will keep it as a nice backup and it's always nice to have an 'auld' film SLR in the camera bag.
    How do you find it? There aren't many SA-7 users out there!

    Thanks alot Forrest, I've ben trying to track it down for the last week!

    I got the SA 7 becasue I was looking for an old school 35mm SLR. My brother and his arty friend both have Centons....I think they're Centons anyway..and I thought a 35mm would be ebtter to learn the principles of photography on. I really, really like it, its so handy! But yeah, I am planning to experiment with bulb exposures so I do need the remote! And you said it works perfectly with the SA 7? Is it hard to set up?

    no setup required really. all you need to do is enable the remote remote function (via the func button if I remember correctly and scroll to select one of three available channels). Then on the remote iteself select the same channel you selected on the camera. That's it. Enjoy using it.

    Forrest were you able to get the remote to function with the bulb setting? i.e holding the remote button kept the shutter open?
