From the manufacturer
AC Adapter and plug cord for the Pentax *ist D, DS, DS2 Digital SLR models.
Pentax K-AC10u is the original Pentax AC adapter set including AC plug and adapter, made for AC household current operation of Pentax ist-D and ist-ds digital SLR cameras.
Pentax K-AC10u AC adapter kit is exceptionally handy when power is required over a longer period of time, such as when processing images on a PC.
Great for cleaning and learning controls
Takes the worry away when cleaning the sensor and
low battery levels. Learn the controls and functions
of the camera's (Pentax K100D)abilities while not
sucking your AA batteries down.
This is exactly what I bought it for.
A must if you use CR-V3 batteries
Pentax K100D can use 4 AA batterie, rechargeable or not, ot use 2 CR-V3 batteries of the non rechargeable type. The CR-V3 are the longest lasting batteries by far, but at my local supplier are about $20 for a 2 pack. In this case using the K-AC1OU Adapter makes "cents" whenever you are in a studio-like situation where you can shoot while your camera is plugged into the wall outlet. (Also, when downloading photos directly in your computer). The cord is pretty long and you can use an extension cord.
In any event and although I use now rechargeable batteries, a sure backup power to have on hand.
Not for K10D
I just want everyone to know...because I got this by mistake...This is NOT for the K10D. It is a great product and work Great on my istDL.
But it will not work on the K10D.
