Pentax Remote for all Cama? I have been looking at the remote - does anyone know if it will work with the "ist - digital SLRs?

yes it does or at least I use this one here. Its small, but works well. You have to set your camera to trigger from it but thats easy. You select "Remote" in the same menu where you select the self timer ( the Fn button on the back of my *ist DS) Pentax Remote Control F for Pentax Digital Cameras

Confirmed, I have the D7100 and ML-L3 and they work together. You can configure the remote to do 2s delay, immediate shot, Mirror Up, or turn it off, which appears to be the default. If it doesn't work, be sure to enable it under Menu &gt; Shooting Menu &gt; Remote control mode (ML-L3).

Yes.. If you buy a lens with a PK mount it will work on any Pentax camera that uses the PK system. This includes all Pentax cameras going back to the start of the PK system (1980s?). Some features of newer lenses will not work with older cameras that don't support the new features, but the lens will still work in manual or non-auto-focus mode with older film cameras. All Pentax digital DLSR cameras that use the PK mount support the features of the new PK lenses. The Pentax Q cameras do not use the PK mount, but you can buy a Q to PK adapter (not the best set up, but it will let you use your PK lens on a Q system camera). Yes..

The use of a remote is covered in the Canon 60D manual. Follow those instructions and the remote works fine.

Lex, Before I bought this one, I had one that claimed to work with my D3100, but it didn't. This remote works perfectly. You may need to review the settings. Autofocus still works just fine, but I set the shutter to Manual. I don't recall, but I think it also works in Aperture Priority mode.

You buy the mount separate from the lens, so you buy a pentax mount. It should work as all pentax have the same mount.

It works perfectly with the *ist DL. I have the same Pentax camera and just got this lens. It has great performance and has produced some great shots for me. Here's more info from Sigma's site... http://www.sigmaphoto.com/lenses/lenses_all_details.asp?id=3303&navigator;=3

It seems to work with any Pentax camera that has an IR sensor. It works on my K-x (Until 1 of my daughters claimed it), K-r, K30, K3, WG-2 (before I broke this nearly unbreakable camera), and WG-4. Keep in mind that you have to use this remote, or any IR remote, within the camera IR sensor's field of view. (And yes, it will bounce off of walls the same as a TV remote will.) I mention this since most of the Pentax cameras, up until recently, had their IR sensors mounted on the front of the camera.

It works perfectly with both of Pentax DSLR cameras. Sigma does have the same flash for Nikons and should work well. Not sure aboutbremote use.

Yes it works with all Pentax "K" mount cameras. K-30, K-50, K3, K-5,5II,5s, K7 and so on. This is a great lens by the way.

GdayI really can't say as the flash contacts on the canon and pentax are different. Sigma produce different versions of the Sigma flash for different camera brands, so I assume they may not be compatible.J

the range on this unit is limited to approx 12 ft. and the sensor on my k20 is in the front so you have to be facing the camera to use the remote. i suggest you check your camera specs to see where the sensor is located then check several suppliers to find out the range of the more expensive units ... most are universal ti dslr cameras ir sensor richo is the owner of the pentax name and you might want to ask them about sensor and range . i bought mine to photo birds .. wanted to set camera on tripod facing feeder and release from inside .... forget it with this unit

I have the K-30 and love mine. The K-30 has several modes for photographs including AUTO which is automatic picture and P which is automatic exposure. These will work much like your point and shoot which will allow you time to learn to shoot Manual exposure to get the most out of your camera. Adding in Scott Kelby's Digital Photography books along with Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson will aid quite a bit in learning to use any digital SLR. Finally Pentax's shake reduction is built into the body rather than the lens with other brands.

it would be better to contact pentax service to truly find out. sorry, i do not know.

I have been wondering the same thing & still can't decide. I was wondering if you have decided yet & if so which way you went? I have a Pentax Optio A10 right now & I love everything about it except the shutter speed so I have been looking for a new one & can't decide between the Sony DSCW80 & the Canon SD1000.

Absolutely! It will work with any Pentax K-Mount. It is unfortunate that Amazon has not corrected the misinformation. I am currently using on the K-01 with spectacular results.

Hi Harry I have a Pentax and yes it works with it the lens itself is a manual focus not an auto focus so you will be fine!
