remote for *ist D

2003-11-04 Thread alex wetmore
I'm getting a remote release for the *ist D and oddly the IR remote seems to be less expensive than the cable remote. How does the IR remote work with long exposures in the B mode? Is there any reason to get the cable remote over the IR remote? To continue another thread, I stopped by Ballard

Motor drive

I have a Spotmatic II motor drive camera and motor. Did Pentax ever make an adapter to allow use of AA batteries? Anyone, by chance, have one of these they would like to let go? Jim A.

yes, you don't have to stand or hold the wired remote in front of the camera. the wireless remote works only from the front. if you are still looking through the viewfinder, that is hard to do reliably. the IR remote doesn't work in B mode. Herb... - Original Message - From: alex wetmore

Congratulations, John. A couple of observations: The price you paid was good -- lower than NY mail order. If a local store can do this, then the NY prices must be too high. Some time back Pål told us that demand would exceed supply for a year. This does not appear to be so. They are available

Thanks. Yes, new toys are nice; last time was a few years ago, except for some used lenses in between. I'm so freaked by the possibility of getting dust on the sensor that I have not taken off the first lens I put on it (85mm 1.4). At least it is a nice lens. Congrats on your LX. I always
