Sitting in a hide with some upthemselves Canon users I realised I was the only one bleeping when in focus. Found out how to turn it off later.

Hadn't read your post properly as usual, I take it you are using round screw-on filters. My comment still applies, I guess you are seeing the filter frames so you would be better with a larger square format filter. You will be able to use the 77mm filters on other lenses, with a step-up adaptor if necessary to suit smaller diameter lenses.

Would part of the problem be that larger filters are needed for such a wide angle lens? The vignetting is probably the filter mount encroaching into the shot. Try a shot with the mount without filters to see if that is the problem. 77mm is fine for standard lenses, maybe 100 mm filters are needed. On the FA 15-30 mm lens for instance only 150 mm filters will fit.

Like this you mean? Thanks John, I thought it was some obscure sales term known only to the internet cognoscenti.Putting a comment in "bumps" a thread to the top of the list again. Just saying bump saves time.

At the risk of appearing thick I am finally going to ask, what exactly does bump mean?

Shouldn't have bothered-no Pentax in any shape or form.
Only dealer in Scotland appears to be Merchant City Cameras in Glasgow.
There are a couple more apart from Jessops (which are listed as Pentax outlets!) if you click on the K-1 'where to buy' link on the right.Jessops have opened a store in Edinburgh. Popped in to have look yesterday.

I use a Lastolite cable like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lastolite-Nikon-Straight-TTL-Sync-Flash-Cable-Cord-3-M... but in Pentax fitting of course. Problem is I can't find anyone listing the Pentax fit at the moment. It works well (including PTTL) and I prefer the straight lead to the curly type because you actually get the stated length rather than some theoretical 'maximum length' which is usually about double that which can be comfortably reached by the curly lead. A short curly lead is neater if the flash unit is on a bracket though.
Googling comes up with a third party 1.3m cable & connectors from Jack the Hat for £16.99 pp, only difference is no secondary hot shoe mount on the camera end. To be honest this is probably better than the Pentax set-up as it is slightly longer and 1/6th the price. One issue with the Pentax set-up is the cable connects to the right side of the adaptor, so whichever side of the camera the flash is the cable is pulled at 180 degrees from the connection at one end or the other unless you use the FG adaptor.I use a Lastolite cable like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lastolite-Nikon-Straight-TTL-Sync-Flash-Cable-Cord-3-M... but in Pentax fitting of course.

Edit: the cheap option is out of stock but there are probably others.
