Is anyone else getting overwhelmed by recent spam from a Chinese media corporation, offering variants on photo-editing? I am being flooded by invitations from "David" (Return-path: bommsha-at-mail.com) or from "Harry" (Return-path: xuegao-at-mail.com). There are several daily variants but in all ...

I've had 2 turbos go on my Berlingo, both under warranty thank god. My local Citroen Indy bloke is very good after the main dealer stuffed up putting in the 1st replacement he pointed out a stupid cheap 5p filter was at fault and 30,000 miles later had no trouble with the car whatsoever Surprised...

A pointless drive!! Set off early this morning to Aysgarth Falls. Got there when a warning light lit up on the dash showing a spanner and oil can. Hmmm? Head home while the goings good.... arrived home and looked into the issue. It turns out that after the last oil & filter change I did, I didn't...

Who wants to hear a saga about vacuum cleaners? After diligently washing the filter in the Dyson it died it spectacular fashion. As herself was using it at the time she was not best pleased. Off to Currys for a new one, herself found it much harder to push and put her back out; what are they thinkin...

A bunch of photographers signed up for one of those weekend seminars you see in the back of the photo magazines. They were taking the train to Napa for wine tasting and advanced ND filter use for nighttime landscapes. Three Pentaxians went to the station ticket window but bought only one ticket. The...

Just when everyone is supposed to be planting trees to help relieve floods Warwickshire CC has uprooted a half mile avenue of mature trees just to widen the road into Leamington Spa, resulting at a bottleneck where it narrows again. I do wonder where they find these boneheads. they're all graduates ...

Pic straight from my camera phone. Beach to myself, the walk here was like a ghost town. Now I know why people usually don't take their ADHD dog with them when out with the camera. Jumps up at you, tries to grab and run off with the tripod, runs into shot, gets everything covered in salt wa...

Although I've been retired some time now there are still people out there like me who do high mileages. I used to do 40,000 a year in the UK and Europe between flying all over the world on business. 300 miles nonstop was just in a days work or should I say to get to work. No time to stop and recharg...

Important Firefox update
I use both Firefox and Opera. Firefox I like better because one can use it with those nice script and flash filters. What do you mean? Sorry, I was bit unclear. I meant that you can use add-ons with Firefox that can filter out flash and javascript content if you so choose. Perhaps bit OT, but I als...

Sacrifice a lens or buy a WR?
Dirty, dusty and damp - yes but nothing too much to worry about. I used my old *istD and 24-90 lens in a mine with no long term problems. Don't change the lens down there. Insert the largest SD card you have and try to avoid changing it. If you must, do it with the opening facing down. ...

The WR lens and a UV/protective filter might be the way to go. Normally I don't use filters for this but considering the situation I don't think it'd be a bad idea. Bear in mind that if it's sealed against water then it'll also keep out dust and muck. Considering the price of any Pentax lens the...

The WR lens and a UV/protective filter might be the way to go. Normally I don't use filters for this but considering the situation I don't think it'd be a bad idea. The WR lenses have a SP coating so they should be easier to clean and when you use a hood there would be much that could get on it.

Just to clarify, the DA* lenses are "dust-proof and water resistant" and the 18-55mm WR and 50-200mm WR have a "simplified water-resistant contruction". In practice, the latter worked extremely well and the use of a lens hood prevented splashes on the front element. A filter would put a glass sur...

Sacrifice a lens or buy a WR?
Having been in mines and caves - splashes come from all directions. I would still advocate a filter, maybe with some tape around teh join to add sealing. The liquid and dusts may not just be water and a "disposable" filter is a cheap option. A layer of tape around te body/lens joint will add a...

I would avoid vaseline on the camera as it's the very devil to remove. I only ever applied vaseline once to a filter to get a soft focus effect. Never again...

Thanks for all the input all. I think I will go for a plastic cover and a cheap filter for the front and a rubber O ring, unless I see a relatively cheap 18-55WR in the classifieds here. Polchraine, Do you have any other advice on equipment or technique to use. The plan is to take the 18-5...
