Filter Systems for 10mm
Hi Chris Have you tried taking a hacksaw to a cokin P holder and cutting it down to just having one slot? I did this for use on my 10-20 and it worked. I use Hitech filters in the Cokin P holder as they are the same size so do not see how buying a hitech holder would help? Perhaps Lee are bigger ...

Filter Systems for 10mm
Hiya Carl, Ta for the reply. sorry about the post, I wasn't clear. I do have a wide angle P holder and it has just one slot. I also have a slim screw in CPL. When I put these two together I get vignetting in the corners. I thought the Hitech was different since they do filters that are 100mm, ...

Filter Systems for 10mm
Hitech do filters at 85mm (that fit the cokin P system) and 100mm (that fit cokin Z system). 100mm should be wide enough to cope with the viewing angle but I would be worried about vignetting being caused by the rim of the circular polariser and the rim of the step-down ring to attach the filter ho...

Filter Systems for 10mm
Ah I wish I lived in London just so I could go ask! Every camera shop I have asked up here in the North, have shrugged their shoulders as if I am speaking a foreign language. Bloody useless they are! Am I right in thinking there's a CPL that will fit in the step down/up ring? I have been researc...

Lens filters for K-x
What is the size for filters (polarising etc) on my K-x? I was told that it's 49mm, but I ordered some and they don't fit. Is it 52mm I should have bought? Thanks in advance for any help. K. Well as already advised it's 52mm for the kit lenses (18-55 and 50-200.) If it's a different lens, which ...

Dissapointing retailer
Disappointing Currys definitely. If you want a sob story: Purchased K5 in Jan, 3 weeks later Len Release Button falls off, sent to Johnsons (2wks) with request to check sensor cleaning as I had noticed an unusual amount of dust on images, K5 returned still noticed dust, in particular black speck...

polarising filter
Filters do some times get stuck and hard to remove so its worth investing in a couple of filter wrenches, they are quite cheep are invaluable in any photographers kit. I carry mine with me all the time.

polarising filter
You could try a rubber band around each filter (if they'll fit), gives more grip.

polarising filter
rubber kitchen gloves or gently warming them might do the trick. Why on earth did you screw a polarising filter onto a UV?

Slow write speed with Pentax kr?
I can understand that - if you relate it to software processes on a computer, distortion corrections would be one of the longer 'filter' applications in terms of the time it takes to 'do its stuff' after clicking OK. Noise reduction also, assuming its being written into a pixel layer, which is what ...

Blown-out Sky
Thanks for all the replies, all greatly appreciated. I'll try using milti-segment metering, see how I get along. Coming from the Kx, where the camera didn't align the built-in HDR images, this option doesn't cross my mind on the K5 (must now remember that this is also an option). I'm still ...

Infrared White balance problem
i believe you take a picture of brightly lit grass without the filter on, set a custom wb using this to use when you use the filter, can be done on K5. don,t know how you set up a custom wb on kr but it will be in the manual somewhere.

Infrared White balance problem
It can be done with the filter fitted. I had this occur on my K7. You need to make sure that there is a LOT of grass inside the little square when taking a custom WB. I'd say it says it cant do it 7 out of 10 times-ish. I found it easier to just set it as low as possible in camera, 2500. Then twe...

Infrared White balance problem
Make sure the aperture is wide open and that the grass is sunlit. The filter blocks so much light that its probably not getting enough light to work out the WB. If you still have problems also set a highet ISO while you set the WB.
