I don't recall any colour cast.

Yes the Tamron 15-30 and the Pentax 15-30 take the same adapter.

I bought the Lee 150 system. As you say, not cheap, but the adapter works very well with the 15-30. You can also buy a screw-in adapter that allows the 150 system to be used with other lenses via the filter thread. A good idea if you are starting out as you can then just use the 150 system for all your lenses.

I used the Lee Big Stopper and a ND Grad for this picture with the 15-30.

The 15-30 adapter comes with a neat soft lens cap so having mounted the adapter you can put the soft cap on for packing the lens in your camera bag. No fiddling with the adapter when you are out in the field.

"For Sale"

One well loved but slightly damp Pentax LX .....

The handheld Pixel shift does not attract me as much as the new AF-C algorithm. But i will wait for some reviews before deciding. I think the part-ex option is preferable to the upgrade. If the part-ex deals are not as good when I decide I may just wait and eventually buy the K1II as a new camera with K1 as backup.

No, that is wrong. The LX manual describes it as "moisture resistant". It specifically says "it is not waterproof, protect the camera from rain or splashing water"

I doubt the sanity of anyone exposing a camera of the LX's age to excessive moisture, let alone water. It was a well designed camera of it's time but the years will take their toll on the integrity of any moisture seal.

Like these. The second and last are my favourites but they all work very well together. The snow really adds interest to the last one.

Nice capture

Well deserved.

no's 2 and 3 for me.

best of luck from me too for the future.

I like the first two very much, but would go for a much tighter crop
