Pentax-A 50mm 1.7 was my favourite but now I have the FA 50mm 1.4 i think I will be happier with not having to manual focus all the shots ! not had much of a chance to take photos yet this year though

Would a lightsphere be a better option that the stofen diffusers?

If anyone ever wonders about the above case. The lens hood for the 16-50 rubs slightly on the foam part of the bag when going into the bag. This is the part that supports the right hand side of the camera and holds it up so it doesn't fall to the bottom of the case. It's not too bad and there is enough space once the hood is past this constriction to be comfortable that it has movement and space so it won't break if the case gets a little knock.

Overall the case is nicely built but the AW cover is horrible and should be put on when you see rain for the weather forecast in the morning as it is a pain to get on in a rush if it rains (yay for weather sealed cameras). The cover actually needs the loops that hook onto the shoulder straps to be threaded through so it actually needs to be taken off to apply the cover.

This is just for information for anyone else looking into this bag, I am quite happy with my purchase and will probably get a little extra padding and a dry bag for the primes and put accessories in zip lock bags to avoid needing to use the AW cover at all

Got mine fine, paid by company called Confero or something (can't think of any other reason some random company would give me £90) Did take longer than I thought though !

I ended up getting the Toploader Pro 75 AW. It seems to be quite good so far. Plenty of room for the 16-50 and two primes (40mm ltd and FA 50mm) at the bottom when the lens is hood reversed, or lens hood on and no lenses at the bottom. Just need something now to stop the primes at the bottom rubbing against each other

Would I need more detail in the image like branches and stuff like that?

WTS Katzeye Focusing Screen for K10D / K20D. This screen has a horizontal split prism with microprism collar with Optibrite Treatment and has no AF brackets or composition markings. New this would cost $160 (google says £102) (without shipping). Originally bought in December 2009 as can be seend by the photos.

I am looking for resonable offers as I'm not really sure how much this should sell for ... afterall its a focusing screen, even if it is just over two years old they dont exactly wear out or get knocked about

Was wondering if the following pic would be good for testing the sharpness of zoom lenses like the Sigma 70-300mm vs the Pentax 55-300mm?
