• Simple remote
  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.

• Rugged but small
  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.

• Remote Control F with my *ist DS DSLR
  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.

• Good product, but a bit pricey for what it is
  The Pentax Remote Control F does exactly what it's supposed to do, but is quite pricey for that functionality. It's just an infrared remote, not unlike what we use with our televisions. If you have a programmable, universal remote or a PDA with an infrared emitter, you can actually program your own remote release. Since universal remotes are all different, you'll have to find the code on the internet or use the manual search function of the remote.
  Pros:
  - Very small and compact so you can easily... more info
