Easy, Tom, it's called the Remote Control F and I'm looking at the box it comes in right now. It's tiny. Basically all it does is trips the shutter. I only paid $29.99Cdn for it, and that seems very cheap. In fact Stan C. Reades had it in stock!!!! (weird) It works great, and can pass (sorta) as a cable release as long as the exposure isn't over 30s and you have to set the camera up first. It works from 5m away in front of the camera, and 1m from the rear (2 sensors) I've got the longer cable release on order myself, but the remote is so small it fits into those little pouches with the snaps on the original Pentax strap. I don't know about you, but for $30 Cdn I thought I may as well have it. It's come in handy.
