Filters?
Always a lens hood but never use a filter. Why put another piece of glass in the way, especially when using long lenses ... There are enough other variables to contend with as it is.

Yes, agree that the new hard plastic lens hoods do offer a better level of pretection from dropping a lens and sid...

Filters?
Film has a tendency to have a blue cast especially when shooting under a bright blue sky. UV and Skylight filters would remove the cast which was especially important for slide film where you could not correct the image in the printing stage. Is this still true? I shoot colour neg (or B&W) in my Pen...

The HD PENTAX-D FA 21mm F2.4ED Limited DC WR is announced
Radical for a Limited lens, it has weather resistance and a built-in motor. The only drawback with these is you cannot use a square filter system because of the fixed lens hood, but still tempting seeing how much lighter it is than the 15-30mm.

The HD PENTAX-D FA 21mm F2.4ED Limited DC WR is announced
[quote:3496ace15f="RobL"] Rob - I know the SW150 filters are large, but couldn't you make use of them on other lenses or is it just the D FA 15-30 you use them on? Adapters are available for mounting on lenses with filter threads and I have an 82mm one, but they are very bulky so it makes sense t...

Full Frame Telephoto Zoom
I have a Sigma 100-300mm f/4.0 APO EX DG (mark 2 version) which I bought off a forum member a few years ago. It came without a case so I bought one, put a UV filter on and put it away. I have never actually taken it out or used it other than to check it worked by snapping a neighbour's aerial when ...

Pentax DFA*50mm 1.4
Well after all the near misses of various lenses and my visa card not being confirmed for online shopping with all the raft of recent security measures(sorted it eventually with the bank) I finally have purchased a 2018 DFA*50mm 1.4, used but described as 'like new' from MPB Germany for 789 euro...

SMC Pentax Reflex Zoom 1:8~12 400~600mm - good bad or indifferent?
We were treated to a few images from this very unusual and rare lens recently when Kris Lockyer (I think) made the valid point that when it first appeared, people were trying to use it handheld and were unable to get decent results. The lens therefore found itself consigned to the 'lemon' category a...

Pentax FA 28mm lens hood?
There will be a dedicated bayonet fit petal hood and this will be quickest to lock on and remove. I was hoping that it'd be like the FA 35mm but alas no, it only has a filter thread :cry: I just just went the simple way way a bought screw on rubber one! I'll probably have to do the same, that or ...

Remove circular polorising filter
Just been trying to register my stuff on the new Ricoh website. Came to register one of my lenses and cannot remove the filter listed in the title. For some reason it seems to be jammed solid on the lens. Any tips on how to removeit? Thanks.

Remove circular polorising filter
Try a small thin elastic band attached to the 'base ring' of the filter (or in my case a CPL), hopefully this should afford a better grip for the fingers! I have used this a few times and now leave the band attached.

Remove circular polorising filter
To add to loadoftripe's suggestion, I now use a thin O ring between the CPL filter and the lens so it never locks itself on again. Easily available on the web, and for little money

Remove circular polorising filter
You can get plastic filter wrenches which I have used a couple of times, they are very cheap so worth keeping in your bag.

Remove circular polorising filter
A flip flop or slipper with a soft rubber sole has always worked for me, just press the filter into the rubber and turn (as long as it's not one of those variable things)

You can get plastic filter wrenches which I have used a couple of times, they are very cheap so worth keeping in your bag. +1 to this. I got a set a few years ago when using adapters to do unconventional things with expensive lenses (e.g. reverse mounting a Q-01 on the front of a DA*300mm). Hardly u...

Remove circular polorising filter
I use an anti slip mat for limited mobility people. They "grab" onto anything that's on it. Just put the lens filter side on it, then "unscrew" the lens to get the filter off. Only caveat is that it doesn't work with polarizing filters. I use a "dab" of wax base lubricant on my filter threaads, ...
