The one in the article doesn't have a built in lens. Mostly they screw into the filter thread of say a Pentax Macro lens. Quite hard to find. Non on ebay at present. This is about the crudest one, but gives a good idea of what's needed. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BDB-CAMERA-SLIDE-COPIER-ATTACHMEN...

How do you store yours?
I make use of an old Hi-Fi cabinet - room on top for odds & sods like battery chargers, filter cases, etc., and two shelves below for lenses. It's open front and back, so plenty of air circulation. The bottom still has about 50 my 'favourite' albums (remember them!) stored there. Phil

Pentax Ambassador Short Film

Pentax Ambassador Short Film
I did say that !! Plus you need a 150mm square filter to get the full view from the 15-30mm ....and you can use the 150mm filter system on all your lenses not just the wide angle ones. i really don't see the point of your complaint. if you don't want to buy a filter system for your camera then d...

Pentax Ambassador Short Film
Stub, looking at this another way you could probably buy the filter system for the difference in cost between a Pentax and the equivalent camera from another, but I think we are getting distracted from the point of this thread, which is Bill’s excellent work.

Filters,
The whole world of filters is changing rapidly at the moment. The new pretenders to the throne are all claiming to be tint free and "Glass" which in the past many of the leading brands wernt. I have previously seen the filter that slips to the rear of the lens. Though not used it looks a nifty idea....

Filters,
I have used the Irix edge filter holder on the Irix 15mm lens. This works really well and uses 100mm square filters e.g. lee, kase, NISI etc. I purchased it from just after it was released and it may be available from other stores now. The holder is an excellent design , very well made and com...

Awaiting it to turn up so I can try it. Cheapest place I've seen theirs is here @ £134 https://www.bristolcameras.co.uk/p-formatt-hitech-firecrest-95mm-super-slim-circular-polariser.htm Seen quite a few images on Flickr using a cpl on the Irix. The edge holder goes into the lens hood mount...

Filters,
Yep, it was garbage and packed up ready to be returned via eBay item not as described. A "pro slim mount" filter is what the listing said.. Hmm, that's not slim :lol: vignetted heavy on the lens. Also, the listing said it would arrive in the original packaging ... A gen...

Filters,
I just looked on the Kood website and they list three circular polarisers, just one from China at 40mm (no picture), the other two from Japan 43mm & 86mm. All very cheap and not specially slim. Slim PLs can be a beggar to unscrew, I keep filter grips in my bag now after having to keep a PL on all...

M42 adapter
As much as I read comments about cheap adapters providing infinity focus, I'd be more concerned about getting the adapter stuck on the camera. Not too bad if it's an old 'cheap' film body, not so great if it's an expensive DSLR. The genuine Pentax one is the only one I'd use, irrespective of the ...

Camera Repair Tools
I have dealt with this firm in the past and found them very good. They now stock tools etc for diy cameras repairs, which I thought members might be interested in. https://www.jackthehat.co.uk/camera-repair-c-105.html? Me too. I now carry filter remover wrenches in each camera bag, essential for po...

Getting ready to sell up and need advice on a compact.
Bloody Hell, that GRIII is expensive. Don't think I want to spend that much, as for still posting on here I think I'll be keeping my K5 and a kit lens as it's probably only worth a couple of hundred now, I also still have my istD which is probably worth less than the cost of a new filter :D

Infrared (R72) filter. Should you be able to see anything ?
Some time ago I bought a roll of ectachrome colour infra red slide film which has been sitting in my deep freeze ever since. I bought a Hoya Infrared filter (R72), a year or so later, and I'm sure at the time I held it up to light and it just looked black and opaque. Today I was tidying up my odd...

Infrared (R72) filter. Should you be able to see anything ?
An infra red filter just passes IR light, but the cut off point is different depending on the filter. The R72 cuts off from 720nm so might pass a small amount of near-IR red. The R95 will look even blacker, only passing IR light beyond 950nm.

Infrared (R72) filter. Should you be able to see anything ?
The Hoya R72 should let light through from 750nm - and may let a small amount of visible red through. See: https://hoyafilter.com/product/r72_infrared/ You can use IR filters on many digital cameras. However, some have aggressive IR cut filters that will block what's coming through an IR filter. ...

Size does matter
That’s the reason I bought some primes, not the new * ones but the traditionally sized ones. So I have a 35mm, 50mm, 77mm and 100mm macro, all of which take a 49mm filter. They are generally faster than the f2.8 zooms although not so snappy on autofocus. All with the K1 without a grip but an angle b...
