That's right. The K-7, K-5 and K-3 all share the same model grip.
However, it would be nice if there were room for two spare SD cards in
the grip since the K-3 has two card slots. I tend to set my K-3 to
write to both cards (to have a backup) instead of filling the cards in
sequence.

You can make a wired remote very easily by taking a 1/8 headphone
jack and running the leads into a push button switch. You can also
make a shorted jack and by inserting it into the remote port it will
just fire continuously. This is actually a pretty decent idea for time
lapses as it will give

I agree with Bruce! I'll add a couple of observations, though:
1. A fresh battery works wonders. You'll need a teensy Philips
screwdriver to get the thing apart, but then it's easy.

Pentax has another remote, the remote control wd. Anyone have experience with

I don't use a Pentax remote. I've got a third party remote, (Vello
brand), that seems to work quite well. I bought it for three reasons,
1.) the battery is user replaceable, 2.) It was quite a bit less
expensive, 3.) I needed to spend a bit more money to get free shipping
from BH Photo and
I came across a clearance table at a local furniture/electronics store.
They had a number of Remote Control F's, for the Pentax *ist D (and others).
These are the tiny, infrared, smaller than a USB flash drive, remotes.
Each new in box.
$7.50 each + shipping of probably about $1.00
All three remotes have been spoken for... :-(

Yep they, AFAIK, simply trip the shutter. I've used it for self/group

I'm not Tom, but I use this remote to trip the *istDs shutter (either instantly
or with a 3 second count) after setting the focus. Useful for group shots or
anytime you need to set off the camera but don't wanna be caught behind the
camera.
Will work on other cameras besides the Ds, like my PS
Setting custom function 14 to 2 on the *ist will enable auto focusing
while using the remote. I'm assuming there is something similar with
the digital bodies.

Scott,
I think you're right, but sometimes, after I compose the shot, I don't want the
silly camera brain to re-focus. The results get interesting if that happens.
