Thats a good idea to get the dogs to do all the hard work..but i dont think it would work with my collie cross red setter,she has a very serious side when waiting for the ball to be thrown and then the setter bit kicks in and theres not much chance of getting the ball back,nice photo!! and i think people would think twice about trying to help themselves to your kit.

ok, ive had a go...using a reversing ring.yep rigged it open with a bent paperclip to hold the ap open!
lighting is something im going to have to work on,maybe make some sort of lightbox!
the balance between unfocused/focused/unfocused is realy tight .
i actually made an extention piece so i could get further from the tripod and give me a bit more working space but it created a bit of un -needed movement,even stepping on the floorboards by the tripod moved things a bit.
lots to learn here!! but the idea is a good one,so far pics not too good but in time and a lot of patience
thanks all for the help and info...if i get any good pics i might put a few here!!
cheers ade

i see what you mean only two screws, different model,question is does ir run the same ir code as the reomte f? someone out there might know,its strange how prices differ!!!
as for my cheapo tv remote,i got the code programmed in that one by accident so i dont have a clue what the ir code is.
as you can see by the screen saver clock i had the second hand showed up quite nicely,but im not sure about the life of the battery if your going to constantly hold the button down!

well the remote seems to work fine if you hold the button in...and you must make sure that you aim the remote at the camera!!!!! all the time.
1 min @ bulb...obviously!

the remote control f ,seems to work the same way as the shutter button,as in you have to hold the button in for the duration needed,
seems ok

hi gerryl.
my mz30 has wired remote, which would have been a good camera to use,apart from the price of film!:eek:
before i bought the k-m , i didnt think about time lapse, its just something which i found out about later,
the mz30 would have been a good candidate for timer circuit fun.thees a few circuits out there ive seen and people have various ideas how to do the switching.i kind of know my electronics circuits ,and theyre easy to build(said he,,thinking il actually buy a kit)as its better to buy the parts rather than waste time on surplus parts that might not work,saves lookin through the junkbox!
basically i got the k-m so i could use the sigma 300mm lense that i already have got, seems to work ok,searches a little but its good.
cheers for now

i had not thought of using a lense keeper,probably because i have not bought any extra bits and pieces in that line,
remote ir blaster,not a bad idea,but could you just give me a little more info on that russell.
gerryl i think you may be getting mixed up with the km and the k-m, unless i put the dash- in there things can get a little confusing especially when on google or ebay with the k-m being the newer and digital.
spock ,my remote control f,has defo got 3 screws,is yours an "remote control f" ir?
i probably asume it is or it could be an earlier model either that or its just a design change, then again if it is a litle different it would make a nice picture and conversation piece!
One little thing i did realise is that on the remote circuit board theres the part where the switch/trigger button sits ,but lower down theres another possibility for maybe something else where another button could be used,"have pentax not told us something?" or are they even using this board in multiple remotes and just label them differently.

hi all as a newbee here and ive just bought myself a pentax k-m , the remote control f price came as a bit of a shock!
i mainly needed it for lapse time photography ( still working on the timer bit!, but not a problem!) also i would need to connect the remote to the timer,so after paying a small fortune for the remote i decided that i should realy find another remote rather than wreck the control f! so went for a cheap tv remote and hacked that up instead!so now i have the 2 wires coming out ready for the timer.
anyhow heres a pic of the inside of the remote control f,for 2 reasons
1 just so you can see what is inside for your money
2 some people want to be able to connect some sort of lanyard/nylon so it doesnt go missing ,as its so small!!:p ( hot needle,nylon, good judgement!! at your own risk).
battery is a lithium cr1620,remote is held together by 3 small screws.
