5.0 out of 5 stars Pentax Remote Control E, December 23, 2000

By A Customer

The Pentax website does not list this product. There is no description of this product's functionality on Amazon. I bought it assuming it would work with the Pentax 928M. It does. My major question was whether or not one could send a shoot picture signal to the camera from the side (So one could take a picture in bulb mode, without being in the picture). The answer is yes. In addition, it's incredibly compact (2" by 1" by .25")

It's a pity that a product as good and useful as this one would not have any description of its specs and functionalities at all. Like one other customer who reviewed this product here, I bought it hoping it would work with my Pentax EI-200 digital camera; and better yet, with my Pentax SLR as well. After a few minutes of fumbling (the remote does not come with instructions or user's guide at all) and reading through my digital camera's operations manual I finally was able to make it work. And boy was I relieved and impressed. This thing is very tiny and weighs almost nothing but it works reliably. I have yet to figure out how to make it work with my SLR though. The only thing I don't like about it is that you cannot use it to focus on your subject (you know, the way you half press the camera's shutter release button to get the correct focus and exposure settings), once you press the button, the shutter releases. So you should make sure you've adjusted the camera settings to your liking before you push the remote button. I also haven't figured out the use of the lower, smaller button yet. The manufacturer should have included a concise operations guide and a list of models this item is compatible with. Overall, however, I am more than satisfied with my purchase. Having an optional remote control is always a welcome convenience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compatible with the Pentax K10D DSLR, January 6, 2008

The Wireless Remote Control E will also work just fine with the K10D, and likely other similar Pentax DSLR's as well. Of course, the smaller button for zooming (a feature limited mainly to P&S cameras with built-in lenses and electronic zooming) has no effect on the K10D, but the primary shutter release button works exactly the same as that on the Pentax Remote Control F. The two remotes are the same size and either will fit into the (BG2) battery grip for the K10D. They're also cosmetically identical except for the smaller zoom button.
