DA 15mm limited & filters
Yes find a slim depth screw in filter and carefully knock the glass out to extend the Colin adapter slightly. A deep one will still cause vignetting. I personally have ended up just holding the filter in front of the lens. 'Late winter sunshine' of the river at Chatsworth in my portfolio on here(...

DA 15mm limited & filters
Just an aside, but it might be useful. I also found with a B+W nano filter attached the built in lens hood wouldn't slide out so had to get a wide angle hood. Managed to get a rubber super wide hood that worked. Regular 49mm wide hoods vignetted David

smc A 28-80 mf
Excellent lens Phill. One of the nicest to use zooms I've ever had. The 35-70mm f/4 is a very good lens, but the 28-80mm SMC should be sharper. It was probably a lot more expensive in the day. Make sure it is the SMC version, other versions inc. the Takumar one were made by another factory. Th...

15mm ltd + 21mm ltd vs pentax 12-24
Can't comment on the 21mm but I understand it has lovers and haters (haters might be a strong word... we could say some people don't seem to get on with it) I own both the 15mm and the 12-24mm though and both are excellent. For dedicated landscape shoots I would definitely take the the 12-24...

lenses for K5 II
Lightweight backpacking option is easy, the DA21mm That's my view too. And when I look back through the favourite shots I've taken, many of them were with this combo. But then I'm a big fan of the DA Ltds; compact, lightweight, well engineered and a joy to use. I take out the 15-21-40-70 combo ...

Replacing the kit lens: what's faster with more range?
70mm is no increase over 55mm... I zoomed the difference on my 55-300 when considering a 17-70 and it instantly made my mind up that I needed something longer. I love my sigma 18-125, quick and quiet to focus too... don't stick a filter on it to protect the lens though - flares like crazy

New Da*200 has dust. What should I do?
Consumer protection laws aside, I would have thought being in Japan offered distinct advantages. Before revisiting the retailor, I would be contacting Pentax direct and making them fully aware of the situation. I am pretty sure that they would not want an authorised agent to be acting in the way tha...

Sigma 150-500, OS or Non OS
I have the OS version and my preference in set up is using lens stabilisation rather than camera and to have no filter attached to the front, I'm finding in use this is producing better results to my eye, nothing scientific of course but a preference nevertheless. If I had the same choice as you I'...

All around lens choice
Finally the DA 35mm f2.4 arrived yesterday! I can't wait the weekend to play with it! Do i need a UV filter for the protection of the front element? I read articles they say that UV filters are reducing IQ and they are not offering any actual protection. Also, which hood are you suggesting me t...

All around lens choice
I wouldn't bother with the UV filter ;P Personally I don't bother with the hood either, but I did get a JJC copy of the RH-RC 49 hood, and also have a collapsible rubber hood to use... it's just they add a lot of bulk to the lens. I definitely should be using a hood though, and so should you!
