Help required please

I've just noticed a speck of dust in the focusing screen and I used a rocket blower but I've scratched it by mistake...how easy is it to replace?

There is also something called a Digital Action Level by Seculine which has a system of LEDs. Green for level and red and amber either side for nearly straight or nowhere near! They are on ebay for about £27 but you can get them cheaper, I've had mine for a few months and it is very useful.

Hope this is of some help to you.

This image was taken during my trip to Iceland in November last year with a K20D and a wide angle zoom lens. The camera was mounted on a tripod and I used a polarising filter.
This trip was my first real attempt at landscape photography and I took the picture because the sun and the rough sea gave this picture atmosphere. This was one of my best photos during the trip.

I entered this image into a recent photo competition held at work and the entries were judged by Robin Preston. Last night his feedback included "a nice shot" but he mentioned that the sun was too bright and I should have tried some HDR work and the fact that I used a polariser was not perhaps the best thing to do.

All entries were printed A3 free of charge so although I didn't come in the top 3 I came away with a nice print to frame

Further comments and suggestions welcomed.

For Sale in very good condition is a Tamrac camera holster, it has a tag with the model number 5627 on it, I think this is the digital zoom 7. I've had it about 8 months but am replacing it with a bag so I can take additional lenses and a flash gun as I didn't have that when i purchased this case originally.

The only signs of wear are on the D rings where paint has rubbed off, apart from that no other problems. This will comfortably hold a K20D with a 18-250mm lens and a grip on the camera body.

£25 incl recorded delivery.

Cheque or paypal accepted, PM me if interested.

I've seen some of these lenses for sale with various apertures, for example the F1.7 version and the F2. Apart from the difference in apertures does either lens have any particular issues re build quality, etc?

Welcome to the forum, looking forward to seeing the photos

Correct Kris! Although Mike-P and jackitec have provided some of the answers I was after thanks to you all for your advice.

Hopefully a quick query...

I'm thinking of purchasing a teleconverter for my airshow trips but how will they affect the images? For example with my K20 I normally use centre weighted metering and between +5/+1 EV and for propeller aircraft an ISO of 100 and a shutter speed of 1/350 or 1/500. For jets the ISO is 400 and shutter speed of 1/1000 The mode is always on TV.

Can someone explain to me that if I was to use a 2x TC then if I loose 2 stops of light how would I change the settings described above to obtain a correctly exposed image? Likewise if a 1.4x or 1.7x TC was used what would be the expected effect and how would I rectify this? I would probably be using a TC combined with a DA*300mm or a zoom lens up to 300mm.
