I'm not aware of a "Remote E" ever having been made so I'm guessing that was probably a typo on behalf of the shop selling it. Remote F is the one that you want.

tadatada Remote E
Remote F is the same but without the focus button, I don't know if the focus button works with the Remote E though.

They're separately listed on the Pentax website.

Isn't the remote E for compacts? The second button is for zoom not focus I think.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Yes Kris you're right
The remote also triggers DSLR though, here is an overview from the UK site.

Fire the shutter on your Optio camera from up to 5m away, depending on model.
Select either instant release, or release with a 3 second delay, to give time to put away the remote so it does not appear in the final picture.

So Robbie just get the F you've no use for the zoom.

Cheers guys.
I'll grab the "F" I think, purely going to use it as a shutter release when on tripod.

I've noticed that Pentax sell two different types of IR remote control (E and F), and I can't seem to find what the difference between the two is, and which is (most) suitable for my K-m.
Can anyone shed any light?
