It's a well known and perisitent fault with the way the forum software reads the EXIF data. IT know about it and will deal with it when they can.

AS for Eclipse Fluid, just Google it and all the answers are there. They claim it is for lenses and give instructions - that is, apply to a cloth and not directly to the lens.

I have indeed got some Pentax microfibre cloths, so ChrisA you need not feel disappointed!

Yes, they are very satisfactory. The DA MkII, the DA WR and the DA-L 18-55mm are as I understand it optically identical and have higher resolution than the original Mk I lens.

The 50-200mm is also a fine lens, but the 55-300mm is better if you can stretch to it.

McBrian is still occasionally around and can be seen on ePHOTOzine where he posts some superb images, sometimes Pentax ones. He's a great guy and I've bought things from him in the past.

If people want to leave, the best answer is just to stop posting, then when the mood returns just start posting again. If there's a problem, let us know about it by PM so we can see if anything can be done to help.

Threads have a tendency to get silly when there's nothing sensible left to say.

As for cleaning lenses, the glass surfaces that is, I always use a microfibre cloth and very rarely need lens cleaner of any type.

I start filters at £3 or £5 depending on type, or more if very large or polarisers. Usually post free in the UK. They zoom onwards and upwards as the market wills.

eBay is the place for maximising your return on these, if that's what you intend. If you list them individually you may well do quite well.

Please PM rather than posting e-mail addresses, to avoid being spammed.
