How much is the actual 'fee'?
I can't seem to find that anywhere...

I think if memory served, was ISO200, F8 and 1/250sec. Best thing is to put it in manual and then adjust the shutter speed and leave the aperture set. Take plenty of shots, and you will nail the exposure accordingly. Hope this helps.
This is where I start when pointing camera at the moon...
Long exposures of the moon often don't go quite right... Partly as it's reflecting light from the sun and partly as it (and the Earth) are in a state of perpetual motion...

My first prime was the 50 f2 (A-version) and it was rubbish... I got an M50-1.7 shortly after and it was a game changer...

At present, I own 2 (I have a Horusbennu 1.8 too but it's on LT-loan to a friend) fast-fifty's... The M & FA 50's and both are the 1.4 version...

Both are permanently hooded (metal hoods from China) and fitted with 58mm Pentax lens-caps...

Got to say I like having the option of narrow DoF despite not often taking advantage of it but really just prefered the overall look the 1.4's give the image in comparrison to the 1.7...

I think 'hooding' helps...

Less than a foot of snow has practically shut down the city of Bradford today... The University is shut and as I'm on a zerohour contract I've lost a days pay...

If people could actually drive their great big 4x4's there'd be much less of an issue!!!

Grrr!!!

I've got an MG and an MX... The MG is aperture priority only... The MX is just lovely... Of the two I'd go for the MX evry time.

DA40 ltd.

One of the defining features of pentax DSLRs is the compact bodies. Every serious Pentax tog should experience using them with this incredibly compact, high quality lens. Showing up with a K5/40mm combo and comparing it to the size of rival systems with similar IQ is what being a Pentaxian is all about.
I'd rather have the DA21... Constantly near the top of my 'want' list and almost as small as the DA40
