Barrie - that is a name worth dropping! Beats all the rest.

A true hero in the family. Next to a hero's true hero.

It depends on the graffiti. Just a simple tag - no that is not art, but some is indeed art, and I would happily have it on, or in my house.

I used to drink in the same pub as Keith Moon. He bought many a round there.
I have shared a lift with Georgie Fame and Bill Wyman.
Had dinner with Barry Took.
Went to school with Gary Numan. Shaken hands with a couple of astronauts.
My brother went to school with Brian May. He didn't have all that hair then though - he would have been expelled if he had.

But enough not very classy name dropping.

Any plans for outings this week?

The broomstick is out of action, and my canoeing skills aren't up to the North Sea.

Just over a month away. So who's bringing the K5 so we can all get our greasy (after the chips) mitts on it?
Tempting.

Could get the ferry to Hull, visit Whitby, brother in York, get in the Christmas crackers. Very tempting.

Assuming of course the K-5 is here by then.

Well if the new 18-135 is a re-badged Tamron it means Tamrom are at least still making lenses with a Pentax bayonet, something they don't seem to have done for a while - certainly not with their new lenses.

Filter sizes for Pentax cameras;

The FA 28-105/4-5.6 is also a 62mm.

The K-X as has been stated comes with DA-L lenses, which are never supplied with hoods. Nothing to do with Currys at all.

I can confirm that the hood from the equivalent DA fits the DAL.

There are other generic hoods which will fit too if you search e-bay and the like.
