Pentax Remote Control F

Does anyone know where I can buy a Pentax Remote Control F

Apparently they are as rare as hens teeth at the moment

I have one, bought it from my local shop
Course, I would call mine rare - its so small, i lose it allll the time

I gave up hunting for the Pentax OE and bought a Seculine Twin1 R3-UT that works as a wired release and a remote. Seems to work OK. I have tried it for some astro/night shots and it worked well, but the locking action is a little fiddly.
The Seculine unit costs about the same as a Pentax F, i.e. £20 Sterling.
Just an idea, but if I'd been willing to wait I'd have bought the Pentax unit TBH.

El Dingo - K3-II and K10D

Hi, One thing you might try is using one of those all for one remote control thingies. I have sucessfully operated the remote shutter facility on My *st DS using one of these - sorry can't remember which TV/DVD I had it set on or what button I pressed to get it to work. Just set up your camera for remote IR operation and experiment......

This shop in Holland has them in stock. They are very helpful - try e-mailing them for a quote on postage.
