Yes something like that and also only 30% or so are active members so that cuts it down to 6 out of 3300

BTW aren't we going off topic now George be proving you're right, the OP only asked if the DA40 was any good not if 40mm is a popular focal length

Just saw that kit for €199 (£172) and that got me interested.
This a link to the set link

Does anyone has experience with them since I've no idea about the brands with lighting equipment

The Z-pro are a bit better Martin, didn't notice a cast with my photos but when looking through the filter you see they aren't truly black.
Will test them tomorrow if we have some sun.

Mike about the Cokin, I hardly use them only with landscapes and I got the Z-pro set with 3 GND for €60 (£52) so can't complain.
I only use them for the GND filter also have an infrared to try that out.

Mike you seem awfully negative but can you name a brand that didn't put up his price this year?
Although I find the price difference between the UK and the rest of the EU very strange. We can get the K-7 for £900

That nothing compared to Schneider, $370 for a GND filter 4"x5.65"
But hey you've a Schneider then

ps. here is the link link

Just wondering now but ND filters are always colourless right or else they aren't called ND (neutral density) or am I wrong here?
You mean with "tinted" colour right?

I've bought a cokin Z-pro set with 3 types GND filters.
So from clear to gray, the densities are ND2, ND4 & ND8.
Don't know anything about kood.
There is a difference between the Cokins btw, the Z-pro for example are higher quality filters then the P ones.
When looking over the internet not very much seem happy with there Kood filters though

These www.formatt.co.uk seems to be pretty good but the price...
Anyone have experience with them?

But he is capable of doing it though as the preproduction firmware confirms, too bad they took it out. Hopefully we see it back in a firmware update

Susan those are the colour profiles for your camera.
It use these profiles to determent how red or what kind of red something is, simply try them all out and you see difference in colour.

I did a little test shooting a colour card and match that with the same colour card on the computer.
Camera standard seems to create the best natural colour so if you don't know which one to choose use that is my advice.

Danny's shots were also already amazing Mike or did you miss those?

I believe that the DA18-250 was the last lens made in Japan and they have closed that part of Pentax so far as I know so with that also the lenses they made.
Don't know why they didn't move the manufacturing to vietnam(?) but I ain't Pentax so don't know and they might have there reasons.

Just speculating now but maybe Tokina and Pentax/Hoya are busy designing there own since it seems a populair range or there is in the contract the lens (da18-250) must be made in Japan.
