The falls of Dochart was my first thought as well. I've not been to Killin in ages though, except passing through on my way to Ben Lawers, as it's the far north west that's grabbed my attention in recent years.

Of the first set I like #3 a lot.

Of the last set only the final one does anything for me - in particular the focus point looks out on the 3rd one.

For some reason I've found myself prejudiced against MF zooms so I've actually only ever owned one (a cheap Centon 18-28mm that I bought to decide if I has use for anything that wide). Perhaps it's 'cause I regard my feeble brain as not being up to focusing and zooming at the same time?

Mine is definitely ok - when the horizon isn't level it's operator error, just as it was with every other camera I've ever owned.

I'm exactly the same - I'm capable of getting wonky horizons with any camera so it would be unfair to blame it on the K10D (which seems no worse than any other camera I've owned in that respect).

Thanks chaps - we were in Paris at the end of July as it was the first stop on a motorhome holiday in Europe. Here's another fisheye shot - from Munich (which was the next stop) this time:

Pentax K10, SMC-FA 10-17mm

I have this problem from time to time however with me it's by no means unique to the K10D or even to digital. I used to like the panoramic viewfinder lines in my Z1p and Z50p and they were in just the right place for the horizon when composing using rule of thirds.

Is this Vivitar a consant F2.8 or F2.8-F4?

There don't appear to be any Pentax fit versions on Ebay at the moment however there is a Canon FD fit F2.8-4 version at a buy-it-now of £45. A Pentax version, with it's DSLR useability, might make more however I reckon it'd take a really good listing for it to make over £50.

I have been wrong before however and Ebay prices are quite variable at present! I was watching a Porst 55mm F1.2 listing in the US which yesterday (I've got one and was interested to see what it'd make) and was rather surprised when it finally sold for just under £100 (I bought mine for £25 a year or so back).

I've only owned one SMC Pentax filter and I must have been unlucky as it developed problems with the coating and therefore hasn't been used since. I wasn't best pleased at the time though as it was a fairly large size (67mm) and therefore not cheap.

I'd moved to Cokin "P" by that point though so didn't buy many other screw-on filters after that (although I did add a 77mm screw-on circular polariser date as that fitted - and still fits - many of my most-used lenses).
