The Kata Bumblebee UL-222 has that as well, one of the reasons i bought it.
Video review http://vimeo.com/11497898

btw i bought mine for € 269 (239 GBP) i'm sure if you look around you will be able to find it below the 250 GBP.

The whole bag is only 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg) and that's not heavy if you consider it also has a metal frame in it...

Do you mean those long flat curved bits?

Too bad it died... what's the problem?

The Nikon will most likely be updated soon so i should wait on that one, but that's me...

This the best link i could find, it's chinese though but translate (roughly)

Good luck since it's a very precise job assembling zoom lenses...

I've the Bumblebee-222 UL and i'm wondering with what pens i would fill the spare space since i can't fill it with what i've.
I'm quite sure you should be able to fit everything you've in it though so find your comment about not enough room a bit strange...

The DA*300 will fit on the right side laid down (i doubt you will find a bag that will fit that lens upright), the camera in the middle with a lens. The DA*50-135 will fit in the pouch, and well i at least will throw the LTD lenses together in one of the space in the pouch and the 10-17 would fit in the last available space in the pouch.
You probably will still have room to carry one more lens or a flash that way (2 maybe 3 flashes if you stack them).

Yes because you can reverse mount the holder so it will only hold a single filter.
This should link you directly to the page of the z-pro.

so... with the 1.5 conversion it means it should be okay with ~13mm

I don't think you can fit it on the DA15 though because the hood doesn't redraw fully...

ps. the z-pro filters surely aren't the best there is, there is still a slight magenta cast but it's less then with the A and P serries.
I believe Matt also has these filters.

Those are the lens contacts i beleive.



From a different lens but it might be helpfull.

Yeah i migh consider it if it could do that because i almost only have DA lenses and i ain't planning to change everything... hell i could do that now and get a Nikon D700 so no need to wait...

But one aspect i really like with APS-C and what Pentax is doing is the size of the camera, the K5 and K7 have so many features and are so easy to carry around an FF system would take up alot more space

Maybe the getting a 645D beside it would be a better option, because you actually gain something instead of only a little bit.

If this is true it could be a memory thing, there is an option what the camera should remeber and what should be set to default, not sure where it is but it's in the menu somwhere (not the custom menu), check how that is set.
There will be option for whitebalance, file count and things like that, around the 8 options or so out of my head.

IF you're going to get grads then get the square format ones, they give you the ability to place the horizon anywhere in your photo with screw-ins the horizon is always in the middle.

I have the Cokin Z-pro GND kit, which contains the holder and 3 grads, you only need to buy a screw-in filter ring to hold the holder onto the lens.
The z-pro is off better quality then the normal Cokin filters like the A and P serries, these are 100mm wide as well so other brands will also fit.

More bits doesn't automaticly mean more dynamic range it simply means there is more room for it but if all will be used?
When you use the higer ISO's the dynamic range will be lower so there wouldn't be any gain to have those 2 bits extra.

That's what i meant with translucant blob like these but you can only see them at very high f-numbersif you're using f/8 i doubt you would see anything that's on a lens.

I only see them when i check my camera for dirt, i overexpose my photo then and use the highest f-number that the lens has, that shows the dirt on the sensor quite nicely.
