Sensor cleaning for my K-x
To be honest there is no such thing as a sensor cleaning kit since you never actually clean the sensor but the protective filter that's on top of it. :wink: For dust the Pentax kit will do or articbutterfly, you can also use a bellow but I never had much success with that. For greases you need...

Very good K7 review from a Leica fan !
He's not the most clued-up reviewer. He has no idea about optimising the focus of a lens on a modern DSLR, and claims the 31mm is soft. It's just not focussed properly. He compares the 31mm with a Summilux mounted on a 135 format sensor with 18MP and no AA filter, and then says the Sumilux is...

Macro for Pentax K-X - recommendations...
For macro, you could do a lot worse than either use an extension tube with your existing lenses (which does cut the amount of light entering the camera so will extend shutter speeds), or using a close up filter on the front (I've used Marumi ones, that are relatively cheap in normal filter sizes, an...

Which polarising filter is best
Can anyone advise me which is the best polarising filter to use with a Sigma 10-20mm lens. It's a 77mm diameter filter - if that makes a difference. It seems there are so many options priced from a few pounds to second mortgage levels so any recommendations within a reasonable limit would be welc...

See this thread. I bought the best I could afford plus a number of step-down rings to allow it's use on other lenses. You'll need to make sure the one you buy is ok with wide-angle; if the filter construction is too thick it'll cause vignetting. You will find some manufacturers make wide-ang...

I've got a Hoya UV filter on my 10-20 & it doesn't vignette. Take a look at http://stores.shop.ebay.com.au/HKBNS-Shop__W0QQ_armrsZ1

Jill - 2 options - 1: Hoya Pro series (or v similar) - small mortgage required but it's as thin as you're likely to get, so ought not to vignette. Disadvantage - only fits a lens with same size filter thread. 2: P series Cokin (or simular - Lee for bigger mortage than the Hoya :shock:) + wi...

You will likely get some strange effects applying a polarising filter to a lens with such a wide field of view. I am thinking especially at the short end. I seem to recall this being discussed on the forum before, but I cannot find the thread. The link below goes someway towards explaining the ...

Thanks for all the feedback. I wanted to get a polariser because I'm going to the south of France and often there is very bright sunshine so the scenery sometimes looks a bit 'faded', and then there's the 'water' shots... I might see if I can pick up a Hoya Pro reasonably cheaply (well I can hope...

I have the Marumi DHG 77mm on my Sigma 10-20 with no vignetting. It was advertised on ebay as a 'slim' version but I suspect they are all 'slim' ones.

The Hoya Pro-1 CPL's can sometimes be found at (relatively) reasonable prices on Amazon.co.uk - price goes up and down like a yo-yo though, particularly for the 77mm! FWIW, I took some pictures on Brighton seafront a week apart, when it was very hazy, first week without a CPL and second with, a...

I just bought a Marumi DHG (it came second in the tests) and it seems excellent. No degradation of image quality that I have discern although it must be there. RRP is £85 mind you. But Amazon seem to have a creative pricing policy on filters (ie they seem to make mistakes) and to my joy I got it ...

Like above, but if you rotate the polorizer and don't see any change take it off for the shot as you do loose two stops. I switch between polorizer and a UV filter. __________________________________ Commercial Links removed

170-500mm Filter for Safari?
Hi all, off on safari in September with the 170-500mm Sigma. Any tips on what type of filter I should screw on the end?. Am on a limited budget and did have a cheap 86mm when I bought it which just threw everything out of focus. Any help would be appreciated.
