The Pentax remote I have was only about 20-25 dollars canadain
I swear, when I got this K10d, my second Pentax digital body, I checked on remotes and the "radio" Pentax quoted was in the neighborhood of $100. That's a lot more than the cable releases I discarded when I transitioned to digital many years ago. Is the Pentax remote Universal?
Incidently, note to Angler: Just for the hell of it I clicked on the Sigma ad attached to this thread. Think I'll stick with my Tamron 70/300. It's been a while since I "needed" a new lens. Looks like I'll make do! Wait until Obama puts a chicken in every pot!

Wonderful results with that lens -- very sharp, great color! Makes me wish more and more that they made this lens to fit my Olympus camera.

I set up my camera and sigma lens up about 6 to 7 feet away from some flowers in my sons garden,with a remote release attached and took these three shots of some bees.What do you think.
Hi Angler, these shots are sharp as usual, so may Bee you need to shoot something different, cause I think you have trained this bee to pose for you. Ha Ha

Angler and anyone else listening in: Only difference between Brit Bees and Texas Bees is size. These fellers were about the size of a Mini. I was about to get a racing stripe painted down its back but it broke the rope. Second one damn near carried off 4# Lilly the Wonder Dog.
