Stunning shots
And I have to agree with George, Darkmonk's BW Harbour shot is the standout.
I have had my Fishy for just a few weeks and i'm yet to put it to the test, but after looking at these its given me some good ideas to start with. thanks

One other forum I frequent will only allow you to post a classified once you have made a donation, for server upkeep, minimum US$10.00.
Not a bad idea IMO, keeps the riff raff at bay.

I have had several orders with SRS, from lens caps to batteries and I have never had a problem. BTW I am in Australia also. First class and quick shipping, in fact I can get items from SRS quicker than ordering from Pentax Aust in Melbourne.

The Tamron is a fine lens, but is outclassed by the Vivitar/Kiron. By reputation even the Pentax D/FA struggles to match it.
Its what also rebadged as the Lester A Dine 105mm 2.8, Its a fantastic lens and a fine piece of engineering.The Vivitar Series 1 105 is also known as the Kiron 105 Macro, and is widely regarded to be among the finest ~100mm macros ever made.

I have mine listed on E-bay, only selling as I have got my hands on a Voigtlander 125mm / f2.5 Macro Apo-Lanthar SL.
If you are interested Mike let me know.

Who is telling you, you can't use them ???
I have used just about every pentax flash made on my K100, K10 and K20 and not once has any sparks gone through my eyes and out the back of head.
I have already stated, as others have that the AF280T is perfectly safe on your K10, I am living proof of that.
I have read over the past couple of years that a Pentax DSLR can handle anything from 30 volts to 300 volts. fear not, put the flash on your camera and fire away.

Pete was to quick for me, but at least we think alike

Yes you are right, the filters will fit both lenses. But I wouldn't put those filters you have in your link onto my lenses.
You pay big money for quality lenses and you put cheap filters in front of them. Bad economics if you ask me. Stick with the well known brands like Hoya and if your budget stretches that far, get the pro versions.
Why do you want filters anyway, protection : I only use Cir-polarisers on my lenses.

I have the Pentax K mount version (not adaptall 2) of the Tamron 90mm 2.5, It only goes down too 1.2 and it is AF. A cracker of lens and my first Macro lens. Oooh, thats a rare one. I have the Tamron 90mm f2.5 and 2.8 Adaptall 2 macro lenses but have never seen one of those before.

I think Impotentspider has one also.
Edit: Forgot to add, its the noisiest AF lens I have ever heard, Sounds like a truck driving past.
