| Latest Review Posted | Pentax Remote Control F
This was my first experience with a wireless remote for my Pentax Kx. I could not be happier with it! With past cameras I had a wire, which I trusted to actually take the picture, but it does limit you quite a bit on where you stand, how you stand and...there's normally a wire in the picture if you wanted to BE in the picture...photoshop anyone?
I recieved this remote as a gift and the first real experience I had with it was on my honeymoon. We went to the Dominican Republic, where they have outstanding sunrises...at oh, 5:30 in the morning. My wonderful husband was a sport and came out one morning with me, but the other two I was on my own. The sunrises were so awesome that I, too, wanted to be in the action! I setup the tripod and camera and wandered down the deserted beach about 20' to start snapping with the remote. It shot great from any distance and really any angle, which I found very surprising.
One morning I did get caught in a downpour and while the remote is easy to hide, I was not awake enough to have the sense to hide it from the rain! It did very well! I don't know how weather resistant it's supposed to be, but it seems with quite a bit of Pentax gear, it holds up well against the elements.
It would be really nice to have some kind of little holster for this, that is specifically designed for the remote (not something I fudged!)
I also love the auto-focusing feature that the camera and remote have together. I never would have been able to capture some of those ... |
