4 out of 5 stars Works as advertised   October 15, 2008
It works fine, though it would be nice if the cable were a bit longer.


5 out of 5 stars Does what it's supposed to do.   October 10, 2008
Pretty simple remote, works on many of the Pentax slr and Dslr bodies. I like the fact it doesn't just release the shutter, but also operates the AF. It will come in handy on long exposures.


5 out of 5 stars Extendable!   June 25, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

If you don't like the short length of the cable you can extend it by getting an extension cable. This is just a standard stereo cable but it works with the cable release. I bought this one: 12 foot 2.5mm extension cable and it works great. The male end doesn't "snap in" on the camera, but it isn't loose enough to fall out.

I've used the cable release with the extension a couple of times and it works great. I imagine you could probably chain them if you wanted to be really far from the camera, but I haven't tried it.

Overall, a great and useful tool.

Gave this product 4 stars (instead of 5) because I do find it a bit pricey for what it is (basically a push button at the end of a length of cord). That having been said, the little gadget works like a charm and is totally indispensible for owners of a Pentax Digital Camera (film camera cable switches are not compatible with digital formats).

The Pentax K10D digital camera, by the way, which I also purchased from Amazon, is probably the best camera in its price range that I have ever owned and used (we're talking more than 15 cameras here!). Solid, sturdy, full-featured and user-friendly, this camera is suited for the advanced photographer as well as for the amateur. You can set dials until the cows come home (according to the effects you want to achieve) or you can simply point and shoot. Either way, the resulting photos are breath-taking. Color is right on, details are sharp, and taking pictures is a joy! I've never enjoyed a camera more.

This is a real handy tool for close up photography - I use it to minimize camera shake and to allow me to hold my flash and walk it around to test various lighting setups - only real drawback is it could have a longer cord.
