Advice for buying a 10 stop ND/110 filter
Other than bulk reduction - is there any real advantage of a 10 stop ND Vs stacking multiple NDs? Less degradation of the image AND colour cast. Thanks John - suspected that may be the case

Is Ricoh Pentax's last chance?
I wonder what the market would be for a stripped down DSLR. The MX-D sounds good. Manual focus, Aperture priority and manual. Keeping SR though. Also perhaps having the ability to take IR pics using a filter on the lens. There was a K-x in the classifieds a while back for sale where the AF was...

To you all
Happy Christmas Shaun, thank you for your help and for meeting us in the lakes for a day in your habitat, will return the favour as soon as I can but don't expect any tips from me as I don't think I could teach you anything (except how to use the remote control on 'bulb' shots without any elastic ba...

Big Stopper
Looking at getting a big stopper myself. Trouble it seems uncertain when they can deliver and i have heard talk of 6 months. However I have come across the Hitech Pro Stop ND filters, make sure you get the pro version. Fits Lee filter holders too. Theres a review here http://blog.robertstrac...

Big Stopper
Nice image Shaun:D I have attained similar results with a welding glass attached to the lens, cost £3, but the results are clearly poor caused by sticking a non optically correct bit of glass on my lens. The best advice I can give is, setup the shot without the filter, drop the camera into manu...

Why did you choose Pentax?
I wanted a fairly inexpensive camera that was a step up from a compact. That turned out to be a Pentax K-m which was on special offer at the time in a local store. I didn't do any research, if I recall. Pentax was a marque I'd heard of but that's about all, the K-m was at an excellent price, and ver...

Whale and Dolphin Watching
For what you describe I would be looking at taking the 55-300mm and a wider zoom. The 100mm macro won't really help at sea. So, what lens? The candidates are probably 18-55mm WR and 18-135mm WR and any of the other wide to medium telephoto zooms. At sea I would probably use a UV or Skylight filte...

Whale and Dolphin Watching
Take the 55-300, a skylight filter and a plastic bag with a couple of elastic bands (or if you are feeling flush the OpTech rainsleeve. Put the bag over the lens and camera, cut a hole in it for the lens to poke through and hold in place with an elastic band. Allow for the zoom action and put anothe...

Whale and Dolphin Watching
Thanks for the suggestions so far. I feel more comfortable that the 55-300mm range will cover most eventualities and I might change to the wider zoom if I'm feeling brave and/or in calmer waters. I'll definitely consider a rainsleeve / rain protector (they seem quite cheap on Amazon so I'll consid...

Whale and Dolphin Watching
Hello I was lucky enough to go out on a dolphin watching boat in New Quay, Wales. There were a few local uni scientists on board (it was outside term time) - sadly only a quick glimpse of a fin tip over 500 yards away though :( However, I did learn that if I go again my K10 will be covered wi...

I'll definitely consider a rainsleeve / rain protector (they seem quite cheap on Amazon so I'll consider stretching my finances, Gwyn) and a UV filter for spray protection. Roy I know they are Roy. It was said tongue in cheek. :wink: They are a fiver from SRS, and free postage for forum member...
