don’t be put off

Why let the lack of a wired remote or interval shooting detract from your consideration of the Pentax Kx? It has troubled me a little, but I think I can overcome it. for one off shutter release, I am more likely to use the miffor lock-up and 2 second delay, so I do not actually use the wired remote that much on my K100. But the temptation of a proper programmable remote for the Nikon has been a thorn in my side. But i think I have a solution. Or two really. First option: a mechanical shutter release made using a solenoid on an arm attached to the flash socket, and heres the clever part. Why not use a cheap eBay timer remote to trigger it? Really not that difficult, if a little cumbersome. So, second option, why not mate a cheap infrared remote to a cheap timer remote, something like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7670483@N02/2666610006/ but easier and cheaper to just buy the two remotes and comnnect them up.
