I also was wondering about IR, but with digital, especially going down the simpler route of screw-on filters. Anyone have any experience?

If the plug fits the socket on the camera then it should work ok!

The first ring on the threaded bit on the flash is a series 7-55mm so I need to get a series 7- 52mm, They're not cheap are they.
Thanks again,
Kind regards

I have a number of M42 lenses coming my way from my Grandad and I am looking for a K100d / K100d Super to use them on.
I already have a Canon 5d classic and Ashai Pentax SLR but I think this would be a nice camera to get the best from the lenses, unless there are any other suggestions.
Thanks
You'll also be needing the M42/K adapter then I have a number of M42 lenses coming my way from my Grandad and I am looking for a K100d / K100d Super to use them on.

It's interesting to see that many lenses seem to be dropping in price over time; from reading posts on here and other forums, I was under the impression that they were getting more expensive!
Not sure if it's 'many' lenses; certainly some newer ones seem to be holding their price, especially if purchased before the big price rise last(?) year.It's interesting to see that many lenses seem to be dropping in price over time; from reading posts on here and other forums, I was under the impression that they were getting more expensive!

More cost, more weight, more sensor, but more quality? Debatable.
At the end of it, it's their money, and if buying into FF gives them more confidence, etc, good for them.
Hopefully in the process they'll be selling quality Pentax kit at the right price
Me? The quality of my photography is in no way related to the size of my sensor - all my shots are rubbish.

chris, I'v never seen a genuine 49mm centre pin lens cap, that's probably why SRS has not stocked it. 52mm is probably the minimum size which you can find

Suppose I take the view that it really doesn't matter one jot what I might think about a decision made by someone else about another party on this, an internet Forum. JohnX wrote:

Absolutely. And I accept that. However, I can go to the replay and judge the situation by myself. I can decide whether it was the right decision, an obviously wrong decision or a close call that was difficult to make.I think Wales were robbed in the game vs. South Africa, but the referee's decision is final.

In this context I'm with the great Rhett Butler in 'Gone with the Wind' -"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn".
There are far greater injustices in the world that we really should get vexed over, aren't there?
