A screw in filter, 52mm diameter, will fit your lens. Alternatively, buy a 52mm fit Cokin-type adapter and use square Cokin-type filters. This can be quite useful when using filters that are rarely needed.

hey we all have to start somewhere. the filters screw onto the thread on the front of the lens. The 18-55 has a 52mm filter thread so you will need 52mm size filters. Alternatively if you have or intend to buy lenses with a larger filter thread (say for instance a 16-45 which is 67mm filter th...

thats the filter, you'll need a holder and adapter ring to go with it. I can't find such things on their own on that site, so here are links to what you're looking for on 7dayshop (it's the kood version, but it is the same size so should work just as well and if you do want to try and find the ge...

Fish-Eye Views with K10D
Here are some Fish-Eye lens experiments: I was given the attachment years ago in USA on a Pentax Club trip by one of the members; it is screwed onto the 52mm filter thread of the 18-55mm kit lens. I have seen these only on a computer screen ; probably look terrible if PRINTS were made ! 6mp JPeg B...

Fish-Eye Views with K10D
So this is more of a fish-eye filter than a dedicated lens? Sounds a cheaper soloution!

Stubborn dust on k10D, any solutions?
Hi Graham, I've been looking around at the various cleaning products this morning. I haven't got a K10, so I'd not needed to know, but it does state on most? sites that for all tin oxide sensors, you need to use the E2 fluid.. here's one example, although they don't mention the K10 specifical...

Why does black look purple?
A) you're overexposing your blacks, which isn't helping. b) try a polarizer to reduce the reflected light off the surface. c)try a uv filter as a wedding photographer I'm fully aware of the problem...(.Leica had a nightmare with thier digital rangefinder) we want our black tuxes to look black! ...

Why does black look purple?
Had a quick look - Nearly all down to White Balance. If you use AWB (Auto White Balance) the camera is making certain assumptions about the type of image you are photographing - and all-black doesn't usually come into it :P The white balance affects the "skew" of the colours. Get t...

Why does black look purple?
Btw, is this sort of the same? It will do half of the Expodisc ;) The Expodisc was designed as an exposure tool first. The white balance followed. You can use it as an incident light meter because the lens arrangement (like bobbles of plastic) on the front will collect the light and spread it eve...

You think not? Try tungsten film at dusk, flash with a correction filter for the foreground (perhaps a girl) and you get an interesting effect as well. The possibilities are endless...

My K10D images taken in Spain last week (May 27th 2007)
True. Now with digital photo and video you can go completely nutz! try shooting through a yellow gel when setting your white balance (on a white card or expodisc), then sticking the gel on your lights and using them to light your subject. you now have a normal colored subject against a bluish ba...
