K7 and kit lens went for £240 on ebay the other day, so I suspect the new K5 and the K30 pricing is having an impact on used vales.

So, an ND stripe with a hard edge at one side and soft edge on the other? They have a clear bottom half and then a fairly harsh dark section getting progressively lighter to the top.
Tricky to use without the line showing I'd imagine.
Presumably the idea is to align the hard edge with the (utterly flat ) horizon?
Isn't that just like using an ordinary grad with the top edge in the middle of the frame?

Stupid Q: What is a *reverse* ND grad?

I have been looking at ND filters on ebay. They are a square shape, so can someone tell me what holder you might use for the front?
Id be really grateful if someone could post a link with where I can get a 52mm? filter ring... isnt that what its called?

I went ebay on the basis that the holders are just plastic and I didn't need to pay a fortune. Make sure that you get a size that caters for your widest lenses.I have been looking at ND filters on ebay. They are a square shape, so can someone tell me what holder you might use for the front?

Typical holder lets you stack 3 filters, narrow ones hold a single filter (lower profile helps against vignetting on wide angles).
The square systems come into their own with graduated filters. Although I've not seen a holder that lets you swivel the different filters to get variable overlap angles.
No recommendation just the first link I found

All this is waaay out of my range, but we're there a couple of firms making digital backs for medium format cameras?
Leaf? seems to ring a bell.
Are any of those approaching affordable yet?

And received.
Took me a while to get the K-30 to play nicely with a manual lens - thanks Tony and Milamber for advice on that.
Very nice lens - compact for a 135 and good results.

And received. Weather today has prevented any serious playing but it seems like a damn good buy.
Thanks Tony

Excellent!
Thank you, Sir!
It is indeed a fully manual lens (no A) so that setting the green button stuff sorts it. I was just starting to wonder if I was limited to wide open on this lens. Thats effectively making M mode an Av mode isn't it?
I do like the clarity you get with a nice old lens.
