Macro is my passion but don't seem to make enough time to go out and do it.

It's not the best time of year here in Spain. The bugs are plentiful, but they don't stick around long enough, or maybe I'm just too slow.

Sorry to hear that. Hope your father gets well soon.

The AF160FC comes with a useful array of adapters including the bayonet fitting to suit the D-FA macro lenses. You might also consider this from Metz. Although there is no 49mm adapter available for it, which would be needed for the D-FA 100mm, a 55-49mm step down ring + 55mm adapter solution would suffice.

Good call pentaxanne.

I just had a closer look at the originals to find that some have this ring, but most don't.

A slight movement seems to have been the culprit.

Strap the camera to a heavy hard disk drive, and spin it up, the faster the better. Hey presto, a DIY gyro-mount.

That'll be he who masqerades as a "Pentax Expert" then.

EDIT: Doug just beat me to it.

www.pentax.com doesn't even list version 1.10 firmware for the K5.

Outer ring is normally caused by oversharpening, have noticed it a few timkes on my moon shots when I get a little heavy handed.
You're probably right Mike. I think I ran this one through Topaz, which may account for it.

Slight paranoia led me to check mine. All clear so far. Time will tell.

Very nice shots. Which lens(es) did you use?
