My old email address has been around since nearly the dawn of email. It regularly gets email from itself, all spam. No malware or infections involved. It is actually pretty easy for someone to send mail as if from someone else - witness all those phishing mails.
There seems to be a lot less spam nowadays. I thinking arresting that Dutch bloke in Spain (or was it Portugal) has made a huge difference.
I thought the Dutch to be such law abiding people....My old email address has been around since nearly the dawn of email. It regularly gets email from itself, all spam.

Having attended the dawn service in Canberra in the past ANZAC Day is truly an amazing act of remembrance. ~ Didn't have my camera with me...

As some of you know I've been in the market for a TC... They pull out a Pentax-F 1.7 AD converter... Is this the kind of thing you've been looking for? I'm asked...
Yes. Replies I, thinking it'll be well beyond my budget...
Fifty quid...
I may still be in possession of his hand...

Lenscoat hoodies are available from WEX. Whether plain black or camo, you can also choose postage type (don't pay the automated £4.99 as there is a cheaper £2.99 option available at checkout) and payment by PP or card. You can get the full product data from the LensCoat website, though WEX's description is good enough, though do measure the front element first so you get the correct size range. For example, a plain black cover to fit a Tokina AF 112mm 300/2.8 AT-X SD lens (4.4") 10.8cm to 12.1cm (4.25" to 4.75") is £12.99 + £2.99 postage (product code: LCHLBLACK). This is based on converting mm to inches. I didn't check to see if a smaller size plain black or camo finish is cheaper still.
As the covers are already sized fro arguably every front element size, you should have no problem ordering a suitable cover from WEX. Being neoprene (same as a wet-suit) it wont damage the paintwork.
Thanks "Pirate" I was really looking for the complete cover for the lens. Will think about a neoprene lens cover though, rather than carry around the pentax leather one that comes with the lens Lenscoat hoodies are available from WEX.

I realise this is an old thread but Really Right Stuff still make an L-plate for the K-5 and there are universal ones which fit just fine too.

No! I'm always in constant need of reminder that in autumn I should try some shots of fallen leaves - in Spring why not get out and shoot some newly budding crocuses - in winter I should dust off that camera bag and get close-up to that giant slug in my garden - and in all seasons there's a wealth of photogenic spots in the amazingly wide range of national parks throughout the UK. Oh, and I should really keep myself dry and cosy in a brand new David Storm.... no sorry, its Peter Storm, weatherproof top.
