Nice shots enjoyed the set..

And if all else fails.... Read the instruction manual of course...
Just found this...!! I actually connected my lead to the sync socket on the Yongnuo unit.. As I didn't have a 2,5 jack each end to hand. Seems to give the same outcome.

Oh ok... I had earlier watched a you tube video where they were remotely firing a Nikon camera. I thought thats not a bad idea. You get far more range than the little Pentax remote trigger. But in the video they connected the Yongnuo receiver to what looked like a sync socket. So I was being a bit thick (Some on here would say im always thick...lol) And connected the lead from the Yongnuo receiver to the X-sync socket on the K1. receiver was getting the message but no shutter release.. Then the penny dropped. The lead from the receiver should be connected to the remote Jack socket. Changed it over and, hey presto.. all worked perfectly. Lens auto focused with a half press and shutter fired with a full press.. I used the RF603 units but it will also work with the RF602 unit or a combination of.. Also does not matter if they are Canon or Nikon model triggers.
Obviously the trigger unit will be in TX mode and the receiver will be in TRX mode in order to work..

No need to reply. Sorted it out now and got it firing... Would delete the message if
I could...!!

Has anyone used any of the Yongnuo rf triggers to remotely fire the shutter on a Pentax camera ? I'm trying to connect them to my K1 to fire the shutter but without success. Trigger is firing reciever is recieving the signal. Connected the reciever to the X-sync socket on the K1 But the shutter isnt firing.. Also tried setting the remote setting on shutter menu. No success. So is it possible ? What am I doing wrong ?

Because it wasnt a complaint..! Just a comment that it was an added expense not pointed out. On what was refered to as an economic system.

I did say that !!

Plus you need a 150mm square filter to get the full view from the 15-30mm

The cost of the lenses wasnt quite the point I was trying to make Bill. But I dont want to make it seem like im always ranting on.. Because I love my Pentax gear. And own the 15-30 and 24-70 too.. Though I wasnt fortunate enough to be given mine...lol But hey if your in the right place n all that.. The point was when you were using your 150 x 100 filters they were attached to the 24-70. Because as we all know they dont fit the 15-30. So to use filters with the "Landscape" lens you have to purchase expensive extra's.. Which you dont mention. Yes you also have to do that with other brands of wide angle angle lenses.. But I may not be as wealthy as some but wouldn't describe it as cost efficient.. Great lens that produces great images. Yes.. The FA and FAJ lenses you refer to are indeed superb lenses.. But the very lenses that Pentax outlawed at the released point of the K1. As they didn't carry the correct digital coatings and wouldn't do the K1 full justice. But we do use them because they carry the K mount and return a good image. So they are cost effective.. But I think mostly impossible to find on sale from new anymore in the UK.. except for three FA primes. Pentax easing their stance as they have failed to bring more new product to market.. But one issue is that they arnt "WR" Making the K1 not WR. So that kind of dismisses your early point to the camera in the film. As WR being a good selling point. In fact the next lens release by Pentax for the K1 is going to be a non WR lens..
Sounds like im ranting on again. Which I guess I am a bit,, I love my K1's would never swap.. (still waiting for 85mm 1.4 and 35mm 1.4 though) Yes they are a cheaper camera purchase because in my opinion we as users make do.. The K1 is a "halfway house" camera. Fabulous if your a landscaper. Less to offer than the opposition in other areas.. Not saying it's a poor camera. Before everyone rips into me..
So when all said Love the brand. Love the equipment but lets start to tell the truth..

But when all said your video does promote Pentax as a brand. in the marketplace and I welcome that. Anything that encourages it to the wider market has got to be a good thing. Thanks Bill..

Nice film. Nice wellies... Nice photos....!! The camera's are well built and easy to use. Though my experience of WR isnt quite as enthusiastic as yours. 15-30 on camera. Filters on 24-70... ? The cost effective route you refer too ? Great film though enjoyed it.. Good to see someone spreading the Pentax/Ricoh photography name to the masses....!!

Beautiful images..!! Thats all I can comment on...
