The fresnel just clips in via 4 small lugs... you can see
two of them in the photo. I've never seen any coloured
screens, but you could bodge something up.

I've left the fresnel in mine and just put a piece of
diffusing plastic over it with Magic Tape. I've then
put one of these over the whole thing so that I have
double diffused light.

THIS ALSO FITS THE AF200T.

I can't see any point in painting over rust
Won't last 6 months

Just think some Pentax cameras are as old as that wink:

I consider the quickshift essential with the 55-300mm.

This makes a very good diffuser if you tape a piece of
tracing paper or plastic over it.

The K-5 complies with the DCF 2.0 Specification K-5_Spec_here

From the Design Rule Manual....
1.1. Purpose
As digital still cameras(DSC) have come to enjoy wide popularity, there is a growing need for direct exchange of images between cameras and other equipment, allowing pictures taken on one camera to be viewed on another, or to be output to a printer. This DCF is aimed at the creation of a user environment in which consumers can combine products more freely and exchange media readily. To this end it specifies rules for recording, reading and handling image files and other related files used on DSC or other equipment.

1.2. Scope
DCF is applicable to products for writing image files on an interchangeable medium (removable memory) formatted with the DOS FAT file system, and to products for reading (or printing) the images recorded on removable memory by these reader products. Details
of the applicable media are given in Annex A


So the cards are usable/interchangeable with other compliant equipment.

Very impressive sharpness from the 55-300mm
They are all so good that I can't pick a favourite
