Did anyone notice the "Product Placement" in Whitechapel? The assistant in the morgue was plainly using a Zenith SLR to photograph the evidence
Take care.

But rest assured you have made a good choice of supplier, plus you will be very pleased with the K5, I am sure.

I can imagine! Though I read somewhere that people have used welding glass in the past and made their own filters (with the drawback that the end product would be in black and white).
I've always been interesting in doing VERY long exposures during the day looking out to the sea so you get a very tranquil/calm look. Exposures of 20/30 mins or so, but it's how you get such a dark filter - I presume you'll have to stack a few to get to that length of exposure.
But yes, one day I'll have a play with them.
If you want to experiment with filters, nd, grads etc, have a look on 7 dayshop web site, you can get an adjustable ND filter for less money than a set of welding glass filters.
I have one of their circular adjustable nd filters, it is well made, but I can’t comment on the optical quality as I have not had a chance to use it yet.
Take care.

Further to the advice from Mike-P, re Raynox lens.
If you want to view some good results with a Raynox lens, have a look at the (Disabled Photographers Society) web site, in the forum, member images section, you can view without membership.
Take care.

I would guess the Mark 1.
You may also come across the 18-55mm WR lens. That one is the same as the MkII but is weather sealed. Although your camera itself is not weather sealed, if you find one at a good price, i.e. under 50 quid, you should go for it as it will provide some moisture / dust protection, and would come in useful if you bought a weather sealed camera in the future. It's also a rather smart looking lens.
