Iso Propyl Alcohol?
IPA isn't necessarily that clean either.
And not only that - IPA is carcinogenic, so you do not want that around you!

But yourself a cheap Pentax M lens say a 28mm or 50mm you will learn more in a day using it than you would in a month with a DA etc. There are loads on Ebay for very little money. Have fun.
Thanks for the tip - does "M" there stand for manual focus? Also, with Pentax lenses, can you buy ANY Pentax lens from any old Pentax camera, i.e. are the mounts all the same?

Thanks!

Hi all,

Thanks so much for all your tips & advice, it's all very useful! I am familiar with exif, aperture and so on - I know the basics, it's just about combining them to get that shot I want, and how they relate to each other.

What photos are you taking? If you do landscape shots I would highly recommend a good Circular polarising filter, and a tripod for night shots. I have just purchased a K-r and love it. Look forward to hearing peoples tips....
Hi there
I will be taking all kinds of photos, but I'm really into macro now!

Hi,

Pentax K-r is my first DSLR so I have a lot to learn.

What would be your best tip for someone who has just made the leap from a compact to DSLR? What did you learn along the way that you wish you'd known from the beginning?

Many thanks!

Great, thanks so much for all your replies. So, any microfibre cleaning cloth will do?
