I have the Petax WR remote control and a couple no-brand generic IR remotes (about $5 each on Amazon). The WR remote works perfectly with everything. When I do stacked macros I use the WR Remote - each stack can run up to 200 exposures so having something that is unreliable would be a real pain.

The generics worked fine with the K-01 and K-5, but do not work at all with the K-3. Not unreliable - they don't work with it at all. I replaced the batteries in the remotes hoping that would make a difference, but no luck...

I also use an Android app called DSLR Remote with my phone and it works well with everything - usually I use that when I have forgotten to bring a remote with me.

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?
