3 out of 5 stars Good remote with a minor flaw   November 1, 2008
Remote control is compact and works even when pointing away from the camera. The only flaw is the tiny deeply recessed rubber button. I have normal size fingers, yet it is very difficult to depress trigger button completely with a thumb. There is no tactile indication that a button was pressed either.


3 out of 5 stars Just a Shutter Release   October 26, 2008
I ordered to use with my K20D. Yes it works to snap a shot, but doesn't focus or work in bulb. It would have been nice to know this before buying, but with very limited info on Pentax's site you can't find that out with out extensive research, or other people's reviews here. I think I'll get the corded release later to handle the AF and bulb functions. I guess if you were setting up a shot of the family or friends and pre-focused it would work very well.


4 out of 5 stars Simple remote   August 11, 2008
Pentax has made a very simple remote for my camera. My *istDL doesn't have power zoom ability anyway so basically all I need is a shutter trigger anyway. It works just the way it's supposed to.


5 out of 5 stars Rugged but small   July 9, 2008
This remote control is both rugged and very small. I accidentally washed and dried this remote because I forgot it in my pocket and it was small enough that the casual check missed it but it came through the incident working perfectly. Pentax makes some rugged stuff. I'm thinking about gluing it to something bigger or getting the battery grip. The battery grip has a compartment for the remote. Oh, and it also works nicely as a remote control.


4 out of 5 stars Remote Control F with my *ist DS DSLR   June 8, 2008

I've used this off and on for a couple of years - works great with my *ist DS DSLR. Only drawback I can think of is that it won't lock the shutter open when using "bulb" - you have to continue to hold the button.
