The problem is there is a IR filter infront of the sensor like you said so it takes a bit longer but it can be done.
Model: PENTAX K10D
Shutter Speed: 1 second
Aperture: F/5.6
Focal Length: 18 mm
ISO Speed: 400
Used a monopod for this shot, not bad right
As for the ND, I at least would get them for the square filter because they are quite a lot cheaper or get a VARI-ND (basicly two pol filters) as a screw-in.

Yeah white is just white, I'm sure they have that one right, there will probably be some difference when comparing side by side because of the way a material behave but I don't think it will be noticeable.
I've only used such light cube once so don't take me on my words, I'm not an expert.

The Minolta 7D used the battery before the K10D. I don't say that it is a Minolta battery but Pentax used the exact same battery after Minolta. Mine have been through both cameras. Fully interchangeable chargers as well.
Someone has opened the battery up here on this site and there are simply 2 batteries inside that you can order from some sites and you can even fit in more powerful ones if you want The Minolta 7D used the battery before the K10D.

Will probably cost you quite some money Barrie
If you do it don't forget to use Pentax glass

Don't think there is a real difference besides the quality of materials.

I believe there are diopter pieces that can fit over the viewfinder, maybe with that you can adjust the viewfinder enough for you to see through it without using glasses?

Ah okay Paul, I thought I worded my comment a bit wrong the first time but indeed all the credits go to Matt (Mathew) although the dark layer was mine idea
Colin what method did you use?
You had it about soft/hard light so are you using a high pass filter?

6 at the moment.
1 - B&W MRC CPL 49mm (for the DA40 & DFA100)
1 - B&W Kasemann MRC CPL 67mm (for the DA*50-135, is on it 99% of the time)
Then for the Cokin Z-pro holder.
1 - GND soft 2
1 - GND soft 4
1 - GND soft 8
1 - Infrared 89B
When I'm outdoors the CPL is almost standard fitted for me, indoors I only take it off when I need more light.
I also actually wonder what the other users have.
Do you've any filters Technoidiot?

Yes the video shows what I mean.
Basicly you make a scene and take a photograph and you use that still photo for the time of the scene with a voice over and special effects and such.
It looks pretty need with the comic video/animation, that's how you call it I believe, I wonder if the same has ever been done with real photos.

don't rule out using a linear polariser - they work on Pentax DSLRs.
