Now they were good cars.
My dad had two Maxis and I never could work out why he bought the second one, but he did redeem himself by then buying a Rover 3500S.

My Dad had one (in maroon) when I was a kid - I was embarrassed to be seen in it. He then chopped that in for a Maxi followed by a Princess so things didn't improve much...
My dad had a Maxi that I did not think was too bad a car (apart from the cable gearchange), but I always thought that the Princess looked 'a bit of a dog' (with apologies to all canine members of this forum).

LOL! Thought you might, was kinda obvious! Is it ugly enough for ya?
Fortunately the love affair with brutal concrete did not last too long.

You could always buy a 77mm one and then step-up rings to adapt it to other lenses - I don't think there are any lenses in Pentax-land bigger than 77mm so that should account for future needs as well.
I use a step down ring to enable use of a 58mm Kood circular polariser on the DA 18-55 and DA 50-200, and it fits 'just',a 77m would almost certainly not fit and I quite fiddly attaching the step down ring first followed by the filter. I am considering getting a dedicated 52mm to avoid the hassle.
Life is never easy.

I need 77mm, 67mm, 77mm (!) and 58mm so I just need to investigate step down rings from 77mm to 67mm and from 77mm to 58mm or from 67mm to 58mm.

Depends what you want, but 90% of mine are SMC Pentax in 49, 52 and 58mm.

I am thinking about going down the Cokin P Series route.
Should I be considering any other manufacturers :

damn did I buy my K20D to early?
Ah well it will take me some time to fully utilise the potential of the K20D. I am still amazed on how much options this unit has.
