Don't forget that water quality affects the taste of your favourite tipple .

A beer brewed in Scotland will not taste the same as the same beer made to the same recipe when brewed in London .
True, in South Africa the main local beers are Castle lager and Lion lager, both brewed by SA Breweries at several sites. There was a definite taste difference from one brewery to another and that was always ascribed to the differences in the local water at the brewery,

Alistair - why not get some Pentax lenses with either tints or photochromatic properties - much easier to handle and harder to lose - lol

Tony
Tony thats what I use photochromatic with anti glare and multifocal to boot, but they still don't work as well to keep the glare off like peak
And yes I found out that USA Pentax won't export their baseball caps ence the question to see if there is anouth source.

my taste buds are not up to much but I though the best Guiness seemed to be in Dublin.

The "widest" lens I have is a 18-55 and I am wondering what else is available from the older "a" or "m" series lenses that is wider than 18mm?
All I seem to find on sale sites as wide angles are 28 mm which does not help i assume.
Is it worth spending money on a good quality [I hope]Raynox wide angle to increase the field of view? I don't want a fisheye as that effect is not what I want at all.
I am trying more to attempt more landscapes with a decent field of view with out resorting to a couple of images stitched together.
