Agree, up to a point.we need is for the people that actually run the forum, to be more active participants in the forum
But sureley something is being missed in all this debate;
What is the purpose of Pentax User? presumably it is to offer enough content that users keep coming back to it, this then is the reason for advertisers to pay to advertise. If people do not like or aprove of the way the forum is run the the answer is simple, go somewhere else.
What is the value of PUP, the original post has been forgotten, does PUP give value for money, personally I think not, and I shall not be renewing my membership.
I will however be happy to continue as a "normal" PU member, fully aware that the site is a business.
Regards,
Davex.

As said;
My only problem with lens based SR is image shift, and this is why I often leave the lens SR off.

I understand the science behind lens and sensor SR, simple fact is I can see no observable difference when I leave both of them on.Lots of opinons and preferences for all 3 options can be found with a forum search

The only decision you have to make is what you will do with the OS, leave off with the K7 sr on, leave on with sr off or leave both on. Lots of opinons and preferences for all 3 options can be found with a forum search.

round ones screw in, ok for full NDs but if you want to use a graduated it can sause problems getting the horizon correct.
Square one come in 3 types,
A,P,Z, in increasing size of holders.
Basically,
An adaptor ring screws onto your filter thread, a holder fits over the ring, the filter slots into the holder.
Most people go for P sizes, unless you want to go really wide these will do.
My advice; buy rings and holders from china, much cheaper. Then get the best quality filters you can affored; Lee or Cokin.
Look HERE for cheap rings

You should have another go, I think - if the 150-500 is as good optically as the 50-500, you could expect better than this, I think.
you should see the shots I binnedYou should have another go, I think - if the 150-500 is as good optically as the 50-500, you could expect better than this, I think.
My difficulty mainly is getting the focus spot on, some sort of electronic "no contact" foccusser would be usefull.

I don't think that's earthshine.
Have read somewhere that it is visible at certain times, don`t want to fallout over it though I don't think that's earthshine.
That`s enough talk for now, off for a nice pub lunch.
