Pentax 15mm Limited and square filter systems
I think the way around it is to screw in a filter (UV/Protector but with the glass removed if you prefer) and then attach a slim Cokin (or other) filter holder to this. I've never done this - just read about it elsewhere. Hopefully, other PUFers will be able to provide more detailed help.

Jules, have you used this with a DA15? I ask because it says this on the Teamwork page: Instead of protruding forward away from the lens, they recede backwards over the end of the lens allowing the filter holder to sit much closer to the front element of the lens reducing the risk of vignetting. ...

You have to watch out for the graduated filters ;) A 100mm NDgrad works a treat on a DA12-24 where the front lens element is huge. However, stick the same 100mm NDgrad on a small lens and you are only using a tiny part of the grad :( You'd probably find that an 'A' sized filter would be more s...

Good point, Matt. But don't the smaller filters have slight colour casts?

Mhuni, Even the Cokin Z-Pro filters I have have slight colour casts ;) Lee are probably the only ones that have next to none, or none - but you definitely pay for it! :shock: A slight magenta cast is no big deal and easily neutralised in Photoshop ;) It would definitely be a shame to pay ou...

Thanks for all the above replies - Matt - I'd never thouoght about the problem of the grads with a lens with a small front element before - thanks for bringing that up - and cheers to Mhuni and Jules for their input too - It's not looking so hopefull that that I'll get the sysytem I really want ...

For a very short while I owned the 12-24mm and it was an excellent lens that at the time I thought was faulty! I sent it back, turned out to be my K7 that was faulty! Have a look about for a Samsung one they seem to be much cheaper! However now I have the 15mm I'm not parting with it and will just ...

Pentax 15mm Limited and square filter systems
I wondered if the in-built hood would interfere with the receding adapter ring? Been looking at the 15mm Ltd myself and figured this would be an issue. Only solution that I could work out is either build out the filter thread to reach beyond the fixed hood or... grind the hood down:shock: The hoo...

Noone's commented on the idea of using a filter (element removed if desired) to get you beyond the in-built hood. Wouldn't this work? I'm sure I read about someone doing this elsewhere - and without vignetting.

I'm afraid all I can do is regurgitate something I read in a post (on Pentaxforuns, I think) a few weeks back. I don't have the lens. Physically that is - mine should be arriving at relatives in the US around about now:D. I guess it was a slim filter they referred to.

Will keep you posted... though I don't currently have grads (almost purchased them on several occasions, but complications of my location have always got in the way). And after this thread I'm wondering if the PP route might be preferable with this lens, as Matt suggested:?! I'm surprised there i...

Since I travel with a complete set of 67mm filters (primarily to use with my DA* 60-250mm) I wanted to be able to use the same filters with my DA Limited lenses which include 70mm, 35mm, 21mm, and 15mm. As this thread discusses, adding filters to the 15mm Limited is made more complicated due to the ...

I hadn't known about this thread, but that is an interesting update and those pics of the K3 with ltd lens have got me salivating :DLooks like an ideal filter solution. Am I right, but does the styling of the K3 have a hint of cool retro about it?
