This simple table may be of help Shutter Speed 1/10 sec to 30 sec Shutter Speed 1/13 sec to 1/4000 sec Not sure what the effect will be with camera showing 30 sec shutter speed, add 10 stop filter press shutter and wait 8.5 hours :)

Anyone ever tried this for a cheap macro solution?
Might be better to try some simple close-up lenses first. Cheap and cheerful but stopped down quite a decent performance. Do you mean the ones you screw onto the filter thread?

Do you mean the ones you screw onto the filter thread? Yes, should be plenty on eBay. +1, +2 and +4 is a common set. They can be combined, with the strongest put on first.

GOING TO TEST K5IIS
Well here is my view and only my view on this so please don’t shoot me down, as it is only what I have found out with using the K5IIs. In the new Pentax K-5 IIs have made some very good upgrades :D The only difference between K-5 IIs and the K-5 doesn't have an anti-aliasing filter, but the im...

New HMRC revalorisation limits
Does the £15 limit for low value exclude postage costs, which I've often seen to be quite high on ebay from the US? This for instance £9.31 + £7.20 postage. Would that be free of all import charges? -

Pentax 645D IR
If the K5IIs also had the IR filter removed, that would have been a very tempting upgrade from the K5

Pentax 645D IR
If the K5IIs also had the IR filter removed, that would have been a very tempting upgrade from the K5 It could be converted.

Pentax 645D IR
I know John, but that's an extra £250 minimum. My thinking was as they are customising the internal filter set up in any case, then maybe it could have been the same price

I'm excited
The repair cost £36 inc VAT at Johnsons Photopia. I have not yet had chance to test it in the field but the mechanisms seem free and smooth. A couple of shots of my PC monitor look sharp enough. There is still slight cosmetic damage to the front of the filter ring caused when the camera (round...

Ghosts on photographs
Here's one I took earlier The Lady concerned 'lives' in Keddleston Hall in Derbyshire Seriously though, if you put your camera on a tripod and set it for say 15sec exposure @f16 (may also need a ND filter depending on ambient light) you shouldn't have too much difficulty getting 'ghost...

To filter or not to filter...
I have recently decided to remove the filters from my lenses when shooting, and I have been quite pleased with the results. Naturally there will be occassions when a CP or ND Grad will be required, but it has got me wondering, what is the view on the use of filters amongst forum members? So, t...

Apart from filters being a very nice "add on" for retailers when they sell a lens, they have little usefulness on digital cameras. Graduated and poloarising filters do actually do something, and under some circumstances haze filters may be useful, but for almost everything else the answer is availab...

I have just removed mine (hoya) off my lenses, was mucking about taking pictures of the tree decorations, some close-up with slow shutter and was getting some horrendous flares. Thing was only after downloading the card I realised what the cause was, removed the filter on the next attempts no flare...

I have a Circular Polariser permanently attached for landscapes. It makes a huge difference, especially on skies and water, but also enhances colour saturation on all elements in the image. I also use ND Grads for almost all my landscape shots. I have tried shooting without, but the results are p...

I'm thinking of using a UV filter if/when I go out in the rain. I doubt that adding the filter will affect the IQ of a rain spattered lens - and I'm hoping that, along with a camera cover, it will improve the weather resistance of a K30 and non-WR lens to at least the level that I'd get with a WR l...

Never used them since seeing the detrimental effect they were having on sharpness and detail.
