Thanks for the pricing update.

Lots of bargains here. Just look at the DA* 50-135 or the HD 55-300.

I am very tempted to get something

I don't think the K-R had one, but both the K5 & K3 did.

Always had it with me just never bothered to use it. A lot of my long exposure shots are dusk, dawn or night but after having some spoiled images in daylight with the sun behind I am going to make sure I use mine.

But it is a pain to use so I might just chuck a cloth over the viewfinder.

Regards

Jeff

I would fill the gap in your line up and get a UWA zoom 10-20mm. Extremely useful and you will be surprise how often you use it.

I would use the 60-250 wide open to give a shallow depth of field which would blur the background. There are moblie phone apps available which can show you the DOF at various focus distances. Probably similar things for a pc or mac.

What I did on Sunday, which was another fine day with bright sunshine, was again using the 10 stop ND filter set the aperture to give me 20 secs or more exposure.

With the camera in the shade no problems.

With the camera out of the shade and the sun behind but at an angle I got some mild problems.

With the sun more or less directly behind I got the same symptons as in my original post.

I thought it would only be an issue with fairly direct back lighting though.

It was a lovely day down here, T- shirt weather. The sun was behind and slightly to the right.

I was out yesterday and took a few long exposures using live view with a 10 stop ND filter. Disappointed when I got home to find 2 of them had streaks and purple/red casts. here is the worse image

Did some experimenting today and guess what caused it ?

Not covering up the viewfinder !!!
