Help please, i attached this lens today on the K5 after not using it for about a week, this is the display that came up, i haven't knocked it or dropped it, shutter won't fire or anything, it's almost as if i've attached a manual lens, thanks in advance if anybody can help

If you shoot in RAW+ you can compare both files but from my own pics a blown highlight is a blown highlight and can't be recovered successfully, even when shot in RAW

Maybe we should just take pictures of shoelaces then, or give up on photography all together, i'm only just learning long exposure

I've used linear polarisers exclusively for years and years - K10D and K-5.

The AF works fine with them, and the exposure is only affected a little bit on some occasions.

Personally I'd stick with the LPL and save your money.
It certainly does look good i must say, the sky is fantastic.

Edit, here's one some here will have seen before. Linear polariser did just fine.

Hi i'm looking to buy a circular polariser as the one i'm using is linear (i think), what's confusing me is the difference in pricing from over a £100 to the one i'm looking at buying a Hoya for £14, is this because of the coating? i've seen a similar post on here but i wanted to know about the pricing and why there is such a difference in price.
thanks for any help

Linear polarisers are said to be fine with a Pentax DSLRs. (I use one I've had since the 1970's.) Some makes AF may get confused with them but not all so if you have one try it to make sure you wont be getting a new one unnecessarily.

The trouble with linear is that i have to shoot in manual, AF just seems to struggle

i have always bought the slim versions as then there is no problem. is that a new one you are looking at or 2nd hand?

I'm not really bothered a good secondhand one would suit me as i won't be using it that much
