Long exposure without an ND filter
Interesting. Whilst my K5II will take up to 9 shots, my K3II will take up to 2000 (at least, that's what the manual states). So, with a 30 sec exposure per frame, that's.......mind boggling!!

Long exposure without an ND filter
Karlo That should work in many circumstances particularly where you have a moving subject, or at least part of the subject is moving. I'm not sure that it would work so well, or pehaps as intuatively, where the main part of the subject is static and it's the camera that is moving. Nevertheles...

2000 shots in multiple exposure mode? :o Surprising to me too! Manual states; 5 Specify [Number of Shots}. Select from 2 to 2000 times. Haven't check the camera software. Could always be a typo, but he same upper limit is shown under "Interval Shooting" and "Interval Composite" too.

It does work - I took one with the K3ii last year. Can't remember how many shots I took, but used the 'average' mode; A PS - I think it was thirty or so.

Long exposure without an ND filter
I came across this technique while looking for a workaround to use with my Samyang 14mm. I can't afford a 150mm filter system, so this looks like it might be worth playing with. It's a technique that's also used for star trails. You take multiple exposures and blend them. Say you have 10 x 3-seco...

Ah, yes! Nice one Pentax, another cool feature that no-one else has thought of (afaik). https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/interval-composite-shooting-57103

Pentax interchangeable lens compact.
The lightest Pentax DSLR is the KS-1 - a great little camera that uses all the K mount lenses. The KS-2 is a little newer but slightly heavier. If money is no object then look at the KP. https://www.dpreview.com/products/compare/side-by-side?products=pentax_k01&products=pentax_ks1&products=pentax...

Multi-exposure
I think the reason so many exposures are available is to enable long exposure effects like smoothed water and clouds without needing an ND filter.

Lines on Kenko circular polarising 49mm filter(s)
Hi all, I wonder if you could offer some advice? I recently purchased the D-FA 100mm Macro WR lens from a well-known supplier, the supplier is offering a free UV and polarising filter with the lens. When I open the polarising filter I noticed lines running across the lines. I emailed the sup...

Could be a defective batch. Probably why they're giving them away. They're not even uniform.

Ask them to swap the filter for a good one. --

Maybe offer to send them back and ask them to check the filter before sending a mew one on to you.

Sorted, it appears that they may be from a bad batch. They are sending one from an alternative brand.

Try and pick at the surface. It might be a plastic protective layer for you to remove.

Lens protection filters
What lens protection filters do you use, if any? I tend to use UV filters to protect the lens and avoid repeatedly cleaning it, but have found they can have an adverse effect. The worst affected is the macro 100mm, I spent a happy hour photographing insects in Cornwall only to find they are all poor...

Lens protection filters
Forget lens protection filters, but always use a lens hood. The hood will help avoid flare and will also take any knocks. A filter presents an unprotected piece of extra glass right at the front of a lens, making it more prone to flare and possibly reducing quality. However, on the last point, I ...

Lens protection filters
this has been asked berore and i believe the consensus was why would you put a cheap uv filter on the end of an expensive lens as all it can do is damge the image quality. if you were to fall or drop your camera/lens the chances are you could smash the filter into the front optic of the lens . per...
