As petrochemist says, it sounds like you have a 3 stop plus a 1 stop - i.e. 4 stop total. If you've bought a 10 stop for about £4 then you've caught a bargain!

my local dealer ,Clifton Cameras, charge £45 for a wet and dry sensor clean, when i last asked how much. the blue cast of hitech is a lot easier to remove than the magenta of cokin i have found.

Ive been talking to Calumet in Belfast and they have agreed to do it "even if it is a Pentax" They actually asked me if it had mirror lock up capability!

is there nobody else, not sure i would trust them with a response like that. I definitely wouldn't trust them, sounds like jessops. Get some proper sensor cleaning swabs and do it yourself, it's not difficult, just follow the instructions to the letter. I did my Kx without any problem:)

Great michael Can you tell me what products you used? in fact can anyone tell me how to do a sensor clean without F*king the thing up? Everytime I mention sensors to people I get pursed lips and head shaking. Do you need some sort of arcane knowledge to do it or what?!?

I cleaned a few specs off the K-5 sensor using a Rocket blower. It worked but I now have a very dirty viewfinder! Unless your posh blower has a decent air filter (the Rocket doesn't) you may end up blowing in new dust. This one has a filter: The Arctic Butterfly might be a better way of e...

Back to the subject of 10 stop filters, I have the Hitech 10 stopper that costs around £60. It does produce a blue cast, but as mentioned in this thread I can confirm this is easy to remove, either in post processing or by setting a custom white balance in camera (I tend to go down the post process...

Dont know mate.. What about this welding glass then> How do you get it onto the lens? Would it be a good idea to stick it onto a filter???? Confused.

Stick a welding glass to a filter is an option, better if you can somehow make it a sliding fit into some sort of carrier. With the welding glass/10 stopper in place in front of the lens you'll see nothing through and will therefore need to focus your scene before fitting it.

Pentax k5 sensor issue
if it was a camera fault should be reproducible right? It is not. It is not even a flare, because it happened only with the long exposure and the ND filter on. I have used this ND filter dozen of times and this I have seen this issue just once before.

Pentax k5 sensor issue
They are very straight but not horizontal. The light is split as if being refracted through a lens or prism. I don't know if it is sensor ... light leakage through the viewfinder might be possible or maybe a reflection off the filter frame.

Long exposure artefacts
Those with long memories may remember I posted a set of long exposure 'cock ups' about this time last year, the causes of which were clear and from which I learned a great deal :wink:. However, I took some long exposures last month on vacation which show an odd artefact which I can't explain... s...
