Confused
Depends if you are at the foot of the ladder or the top :mrgreen: :wink: They seem to call them both ways :shock: so it's up to you to make sure :lol: I'd just look for 62 mm filter on 49 mm lens in the description. You might have to do it with two.... 62 to 58 and 58 to 49

Confused
Step up means you want to use something with a larger diameter than the existing lens and step down means you want to use something with a smaller diameter. Fairly logical :wink: All Ebay and Amazon sellers have University Degrees in how to correctly describe filter rings........ I don't think! :...

K5 and IQ
Hi Stan, You should be able to get decent sharpness with the 55-300mm. But there have been discussions previously about the lack of sharpness with this lens, and certain possible reasons. I found that i couldn't get a decnt focus, especialy at longer focal lengths, and the reason was because I...

K5 and IQ
I would second what Neil (darkskies) says about the 55-300 lens. I have had two problems with it, neither of which were the lens at fault: 1. I couldn't get a sharp image - until I removed the UV filter and then hey-presto it was razor-sharp! 2. My K-x was seriously front-focussing so I appl...

Free Photoshop IR conversion action
This is one using this PS action. Not sure it's my cup of tea but it make for an intresting image. This was shot with a 720nm filter.

He He, I don't anymore either Matt, using exactly your setup but an awful lot of my fellow landscapers do, and frown upon me for saying I don't need em, then tell me I can't be taking it seriously!:D You're not! You need at least £250 worth of Lee filters to begin to be credable!:lol::roll: And...

The original meaning of the word Photography isn't strictly true, even with film we didn't "draw with light" we simply allowed the light to fall onto a light sensitive emulsion, we do exactly the same with a digital sensor. How much manipulation is done to either is a matter of personal choice, a...

PentaxUser competitions
It's not 'cheating' but I can't really understand why you'd want to do it. Maybe there's a person in the background with a red T-shirt on that draws the eye too much - in that situation I might locally desaturate reds to 'knock back' the T-shirt colour. That's not really cheating in my book, it's ju...

The use of Velvia versus Kodachrome 10 (yeah, I've used it) versus Ektachrome vs Agfachrome (I liked it) is a form of manipulation, as mentioned earlier in this thread. The use of a filter is a form of manipulation. I got second prize in a contest in 1962 (I think) using a No 2 orange filter on a pi...

10 stop ND filter - advice please!
Thinking of investing in a 10 stopper to try out some long exposure stuff - I've a weeks hols on Ardnamurchan coming up, so thinking of seascapes etc. Any advice on a good 'un? I'm eyeing up the B&W 77mm - which I could get step down rings for use on smaller lenses. £75 via amazon and seems to be...

10 stop ND filter - advice please!
Lee would have been my choice, and was, but I couldn't wait the 6 months or more for delivery, so I haven't bothered any more. All 10 stoppers suffer from a colour cast in varying degrees. The Lee seemed to be the easiest to compensate for, but it remains more or less unavailable. Whichever yo...

Not a Pentax and not a lens cap. On enlargement it Looks to be a Panasonic camera with an ND or polarizing filter attached. John

Variable ND Filters and Metering problems
I have bought a variable ND filter (admittedly a cheap one to try out before flashing the cash for an expensive one!), and I find that the cameras metering begins to under-expose significantly above about +4 to +5 stops. I'm using a K-r and for my test used centre weighted metering and aperture pr...
