So I'm only 5'8". Flipside 300 is great. I got it because its fits a K5 or K20D with Bigma mounted.Room for several other lenses as well.

eenymac : love those photos. I will have to get my Sigma 105 EX out!
I find the 105mm lens works very well with the Pentax 1.7 AF TC as well.

I bought a CZJ Flektagon 35mm f 2.4. M42 mount.Manual focus of course. Very sharp even wide open and very close focussing handy as well.It had a good work out recently on wild orchids and farm scenes. Highly recommended.

I think this is separation between a couple of the correcting lenses. Have it on my 350mm F5.6 mirror. No effect on my photos.

I bought a similar one to the link supplied by Colin. Alternative is to find a plastic lid that has the right diameter to go over the lens.

I wonder: You have your camera set on multi segment metering (pattern). The second photo has allowed for the darkness of the hearth. The first is better balanced overall. Photos are 4 seconds apart. If you had camera set on centre weighted you could better control the exposure. Looking at my own K5 I find I normally have it set at centre weighted. Perhaps this explains the different exposures???? I am assuming photos are not cropped. Cheers

PS Hi Frankie, Green mode defaults to Multi seg not spot mode. Cheers
