Interesting concept, well thought out. Possibly it could benefit from being smoother, which would take many more images, probably about 12 per second with each frame being shown twice.

You will need to go into the custom function "Using Aperture Ring" and set it to "Permitted" after which you will be able to use manual or aperture priority modes with this lens. The aperture of the lens will of course be fixed.

You may find that some exposure compensation is necessary to get correct exposure.

You also use Heliopan, I've heared the handling of them is better then B+W. what is your thought about that?

I don't have any strong feelings on this as I use filters so rarely these days. I do like the heavy brass mounts of the B+W ones though.

Or salt water spray!

Just use a lens hood and then cap when the lens is not in use?

That's what I do.

B+W is also an option although it seems I'm the only one shooting with them

Not the only one Stefan. When I do use a filter (rarely these days) my collection are B+W, Heliopan, Pentax and Hoya.

Here's a place for discussion of the theme and images for the new weekly competition.

The entries should be placed in the Gallery>Competitions>Weekly Competition #119 and can be directly uploaded.

There are lots of fantastic small buildings out there - sheds, follies, shelters, you name it....lets have some cracking images of them!

The F and FA 100mm f2.8 lenses are the same optically, and superb.

The D-FA is a totally different and more compact design.

The FA 100mm f3.5 is very plasticky but nonetheless delivers escellent results.

Your pictures can be any shape you like!

See page 236 of the K20D manual. I can't find my K10D manual just now, but I think it's the same. Select and uncheck white balance and the job is done.

All you have to do is to switch off your camera rather than letting it go to sleep. Your battery may last longer as well.
