(I wouldn't pay £100 for a filter, though.)

Not questioning ones perspective, but... Would ones filter use change if the lens were an ultra rare one such as... A Schneider t/s 28mm, any Zeiss lens for PK, or (although not yet in PK, and wishing it was) A Leica f0.95 ?

Not in the slightest. Why ruin a perfectly fine lens with a cheaper piece of glass?

It's called an "add-on" and adds profit to an unprofitable transaction. So you buy a camera and add on a filter, bag, care kit.......

Personally I ditched filters a long time ago. They aren't needed the same as they were for film for effect, with the exception of grads and polarisers. I don't use them for protection, but I do always use a lenshood.

Card reader every time, always has been, and it doesn't cause any problems with cards. It is so much easier, especially when multiple cards have been filled, for example on a week's holiday where we would use a card a day.

Ads are really for Pentax items, but at least you've included the Pentax 645 in your title.

In terms of ease of use I'd go for that 645.

If you can find a good one and feel up to handling the weight, the real beauty is the Pentax 67. I've always regretted not going for that, so have a look at one and be amazed by the viewfinder. Then be amazed by the image quality.

Just as an aside John, how is the old camera in the garden bearing up?

The end of last month it looked like this:

Maybe your ISP has it marked as spam, in which case there must be a "not spam" button somewhere. Or make it a specifically allowed web address in your Internet options.

My newsletters arrive just fine, so it may be something that is blocking yours.

Brilliant images!

I had it here for a while Gwyn, but I seem to have misplaced it.

It's a shame, because Andy, our Painter and Decorator, is just starting to paint the outside of our house.

Judging from where the voting ended, although the K-3 II was significantly ahead, that left a lot of people still wanting the K-3. Both models are clearly needed.

We would probably end up with one of each. Sue wants the inbuilt flash and I want the Pixel Resolution.
