I've found the range to be somewhat limited, especially outdoors in
fairly bright light.
The wired remote was the "Cable Switch CS-205". I had one until the
button wore out (yeah, BUTTON, not the wire connection).
Looks like Ricoh has a new remote, the "Remote Control D".

Don't know exactly what the difference is between it and the Remote
Control F, but they're asking $0.05 less for it (???).
I found a cheap Chinese intervalometer that works with Pentax. It's
usually sold for the Canon Rebel models, but they use the same connector
& pin-out that Pentax uses. Here's the one Amazon offers:

Supposedly works with all of these cameras:
K100D,K110D, K10D, *ist Ds2, *ist D, *ist Ds, *ist, *istDL, *ist DL2
Samsung GX-1L, GX-1S, GX-10
Canon EOS 30, 33, 50E, 300, 300V, 3000, 50, 300D (Digital Rebel)
350D (Digital Rebel XT), 400D (Digital Rebel XTi), 450D (Digital
Rebel XSi), 500D, 1000D
Timer delay: 0s to 99hrs 59min 59s in 1s increments
Works for group shots because you can program it with a long enough
delay to easily walk back from the camera position and rejoin the group.

Does anyone else have problems with this remote? I find it
unreliable. Sometimes it actuates the shutter, sometimes it does not.
It always does eventually, but in the meantime it is irritating.
Pentax has another remote, the remote control wd. Anyone have
experience with it. Are there any third-party remotes that are good?
