I have a rocket blower, and, more recently, some 3M Lens cleaning cloths!
Filter wrench - no
Bean Bag - yes, but a rolled up scarf, jacket or almost anything soft that will protect the camera if it is resting on a rough surface.
The new pentax lens caps are fine - in the main, but limiteds are sometimes a pain to keep in place when the lens is not in use but still attached to the camera.
Hand towel - I don't think so - sell your C***n/N***n and get a weatherproofed Pentax system!
Hot shoe bubble level - have you checked a Pentax lately?
Pocket handkerchief makes a good on board flash diffuser!
Grey card - point the camera at the grass or the back of your hand
I think I could save a few Pence/Pounds/Dollars!
Apologies to Greynolds999 for posting in the middle of the day

Working full time. However, working at home today So often have a spare minute for a coffee and a quick look on the forums. Retired from the Royal Air Force at 53, and now deliver training to the local council social care staff. Wonder if my job will be there in the next few months? All we keep hearing about are cuts, budgets, cuts, redundancies, cuts and job losses. At 62 it could be time to spend more time with my family and my hobbies

Firstly - the film title came to mind when choosing a title for this post! - So apologies in advance...
Just been reading a dirth of posts regarding a range of subjects but all have a similar thread. Why was my post deleted? Over policing of the site? It's photography related etc etc etc. Next up came the subject of medication, tastes in programming, political stance and choice of confectionary. Then I wondered how many of us are retired or semi-retired and have the time to sit and ponder before hitting the keyboard in reply?
Of course, response is purely optional, but I thought it would be an interesting exercise and a way of gauging the status of the forum users and maybe getting a feel for the target audience.

I have a GGS glass screen protector on my K7 and K20. Tougher than the plastic film and not prone to bubbles and peeling at the edges. Yes still easy to remove should the need arise. No discernable loss of IQ on the screen
