hello,

i am tired of waiting for auctions to end on ebay...(especially since there is no consistency it drives me mad!). Anyway I am after 77mm filters:

- UV (a good one) or skylight 1a / it's mainly to protect my baby
- CPL (a good one too )
- ND (whatever, i have never used them before but would like to see the effect, read somewhere they dont make much sense on wide angle lenses so not sure i'll keep it!?).

If anyone's got a spare one from an old lens i would be happy to buy it for a decent price.
thanks!

hmmm i have the same problem in the viewfinder (even without a lens), it's probably my fault as by trying to clean it i seem to have added some more!

it also seems to be on the rear side (where i put my eye, on the screen side) and not on the mirror (which is clean), any thought on how to clean it? (it seems to be in between the 2 pieces of glass as changes with the eye focus thingy (dont know how it's called!)).

might need a professional to look at it, any good address in london?

thanks!

if the most common person had a pentax it wouldn't feel the same and there wouldn't be the "I belong to a special group" spirit. We're part of the pentax club, and whether we want it or not we're being elitist and tend to judge people (part of the minority makes it even better, constantly trying to justify our choice)

My best friend is looking to buy a canon (first DSLR for him) and it's simply impossible to convince him to get pentax. (would you chose a lotus over a porsche?)

I guess everyone's got its own reason to be on pentax, but to me the main reason is not just material but personal; basically i wouldnt expect someone to flip through a catalogue and choose pentax over canon - it has to be related to someone, a moment, an experience.

In my case i didnt chose to have a pentax, my dad had one, i played with it, then for my 18's birthday i chose to get a pentax slr (MZ30), was really happy as could play with my dad's lenses too
10 years later my dad's moved to a panasonic all in one camera, and i'm still on pentax

Now i have to admit i find it annoying to find a sigma lens not available for pentax fit or to be 40% cheaper for the canon fit!!

black if possible - not too old and in good conditions
preferably the body only but since the DAL is supposed to be decent i would consider the kit.
thanks
