Lens Help please ... Solved & broke!
The DA* 16-50 and the DA* 300 both take 77mm filters, so you can economise and share a filter between the two lenses. Economise? Have you seen what the OP is buying? (Jealous? Moi?)

Lens Help please ... Solved & broke!
for all the arguments, pro and con, the only thing I can add is this: I don't use filters, for lens protection, and rarely use filters on lenses at all. (only when needed). only carrycir polarizers, nd grads, and varicolor polarizers for general shooting.... lighting gels is another matter... ...

Which lense??
The Sigma lens you mentioned, whilst fast, will not give you a much different field of view from your kit lens. For landscapes, look at the Sigma 10-20mm or SMC Pentax DA 12-24mm. The extra few millimeters at the wide end will make a difference to your landscape pics. I would also recommend you get ...

Pentax K SMC f1:1.2
I got my SMC-A 50/1.4 last week - for £25 and a bit : ) I had rung a well known online retailer to ask about one listed on their website for £75. They had sold it but had just received a Pentax kit, which they had just unpacked. The 50/1.4 had a ding in the filter ring. I haggled a little, and ag...

ND grad filter
tried to find one or get advice but no luck. Can anyone tell me a good make and where to get it cheaply please? I have polarising filter which will kill a bit of light for now but I need a graduated filter to avoid spending hours in PhotoShop!

ND grad filter
Hello there, I have a couple of Cokin Nd grads. They are perfect but now very hard to find. I have 1 A series and one P series. The P series is bigger and more effective with lenses with filter thread bigger than 52mm. Everybody will suggest you buy a filter holder from Cokin as well. I do...

ND grad filter
In the mean time, you could have a go with this photoshop tutorial of a technique to simulate an ND grad. http://www.thedigitalphotographyconnection.com/pfdp_player.php?ID=58 The presentation style is a bit "dry" and the intro is a bit too jazzy for its own good, but the last 2/3rds ar...

ND grad filter
Cokin, Lee, Singh Ray. In order of ascending quality Singh Ray do an awesome vari-ND, allowing you to change the strength of the nd with a twist of the ring, but its $400 :lol: Yeah Cokin best for beginning.

Pentax or Sigma?
After admiring the various macro shots in the Your Photos section, I really need a Macro lens. Question is, should I go for the Pentax 100mm 2.8 or the Sigma 105 mm 2.8? The advantage of the Sigma, apart from being cheaper, is that it has the same filter size as the 70-300 zoom lens. The Pent...

Filters - Which Manufacturer ?
For P-sized stuff there's quite a few ;) Kood do a reasonable polarizer. Hitech do filters that seem as good as the Cokin. Check out www.srbfilm.co.uk - they stock most stuff. (Then there's the Z-Pro too... the Cokin filters in Z-Pro are better than their P sized ones. Odd but true!) Also...

Filters - Which Manufacturer ?
Lee Filters are considered the best and are the most expensive. I have the Cokin P filter set up, including the Polarizer. However, it is a bit of a pain to use and I sometimes think I should have gone for a Hoya or B&W filter to screw on to the front of my lens. It all depends on what fi...

Filters - Which Manufacturer ?
Depends what you want, but 90% of mine are SMC Pentax in 49, 52 and 58mm. My initial requirement is for a circular polariser and then I thought do I buy three different sizes to suit my main lenses or do I opt for a system, so that I only buy one filter of each type + the adaptors etc.

Filters - Which Manufacturer ?
You could always buy a 77mm one and then step-up rings to adapt it to other lenses - I don't think there are any lenses in Pentax-land bigger than 77mm so that should account for future needs as well. If you go this route, check that the larger filter will fit inside the Pentax dedicated lens hood. ...

Problem with Tamron Macro
is there a UV filter on the lens? My Tamron 90mm F2.5 dislikes UV filters and produced a similar fault to this when i was using one with it. Hope it turns out to be something nice and simple.

Problem with Tamron Macro
Thanks for the input chaps. The lens still seems to perform well in all other respects so I may just learn to live with it. Mongoose: Yes I tried it without a filter. Clarky: Yes it is the same, do me a favour and try yours for me. just point it at a plain wall or piece of card the same a...

Yup, saw that one, saw this one too! This image shows what appears to be an enormous filter to screw on the front. It says "smc Pentax PF filter". What is a PF filter? Richard

According to article this filter would be used to : Long-distance Photography The PF can be used for improving visibility through certain kinds of fog or haze. This property is particularly important for long-distance photography on the ground where the detail of distant objects is often obscu...
