Mine rotates fine. If it's stiff enough to unscrew the filter it might be worth changing for another one. Or turn it the other way! Can you operate yours easily with one hand?

10 stop ND filters
You used the expression "Good Brand". Try, Lee Filters, Tiffen and B + W. Be careful with the square slot-in filter holder type, you can in some circumstances get light penetration to the side of the filter holder during very long exposures.

How can I take black and white shots with my K-x?
The 'Custom Image' settings offer a black and white setting, where you can adjust the contrast and effects which replicate using the old black and white coloured filters (e.g. red filter to darken skies and lighten skin tones). There's a description here: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/pentaxkx/...

K5 sales very strong, Pentax image weak.
Have you seen the Nikon section in the Argos catalogue? All the products are like this - 'I AM a Nikon 49mm UV filter. I will protect your lens and remove unwanted glare from photographs, preserving your precious moments just as you remember them'... ... patronising much? I think Pentax is...

Achieving sharpness and IQ
You can just as easily use a £5 lamp as a £200 flashgun. You get to see what the end result will be like and set (and if necessarily tweak) the white balance to get the colours right. I use a grey-cap ( ) to make life easier. And if the thing you are shooting doesn't move, the bulbs don't need t...

I've been writing a reply during the day, just come back to it, clicked on preview and the whole :evil: lot has disappeared! Start again....... ....might want to upgrade to the WR version. Getting familiar with the lens' in this category is on the agenda. I've only ever previously use prime lens...

Achieving sharpness and IQ
You want dead sharp shots? Weak AA filter like the K10D or K-r. Make sure your lens is focusing correctly, do AF adjustments if required. Am a little disappointed by the AA filter on the K-5. I think the K-20 and K-7 may be similar stronger filters. A good lens makes a big difference IMHO. ...

PSE9 & CS5 bit depth question 8bit / 16bit functions?
I've just been used to processing images from scanned transparencies which are 8bit scans. However having made the move to digital the files are now 16bit but some functions don't work in 16bit until converted to 8bit (cloning stamp for instance), is this simply the built in limited functionality of...

Fungus
I went to buy a filter at Mathers of Lancahire yesterday, and one of the salesmen ver generously gave me, free of charge, an smc Pentax-M 75-150mm f4 lens, which is in great condition apart from two spots of what I assume are fungus, both on the front of the front element. The worse one is shown her...

Kenko CPL Filters. Anyone using them?
I have a 67mm one and it is stiffer than my Hoya CPL filters. You have to be careful not to unscrew the filter if you turn it anti-clockwise. My Hoya CPL's are a lot smoother, I have a Kood one which is quite stiff but not as stiff as the Kenko one. Regards George

Kenko CPL Filters. Anyone using them?

Kenko CPL Filters. Anyone using them?
I have a 77mm Kenko Pro 1D fitted to a DA* 16-50 . It is slightly more resitive to turning than a 58mm Kood I use, but it is definitely not stiff. Regards - Steve I posses a range of polarisers of different size from Hoya, Sigma, Marumi and Kenko and I can't say I've noticed any great difference...

Lens Hoods
These are exactly the kinds of things that I have found Rocky Cameras brilliant for. Very low prices, typically £2.50-3.00 each and with a filter. I found his service good. I am aware that others have had mixed experiences with poor descriptions of lenses and other higher value items, but for these...
