Yes these are lovely. Though as an owner of a ME super. My first camera. Ive wanted to get a roll of film and go out myself. But as you have commented the cost is vary prohibitive right now. On another note. Who does the developing ? Are you doing it yourself ? I did have a "Darkroom" back in the day. But sadly all gone now..!

K & F do an 82mm combined CPL and 6 stop variable ND filter, If that would be of any use ?

Haida also do a similar filter.
Note, Single filters are fine, But if your going to stack filters on an 82mm lens you need to purchase 95mm filters and a stepping ring. As they vignette when stacked.

For now, I would be happy for my K1 to come away from the "Its a great landscapers camera tag ". Improving its movement capabilities, Having a far better focusing system. Faster frames per second, faster download speed to meet the more modern SD cards. Eye tracking, Auto focus stacking. Nothing unusual. Just what the rivals already have..

I wouldn't be particularly bothered by more mega pixels. But I would like to see auto focus points on multiple frames, to aid focus stacking. Like the Nikon Z's have.. If the rumors are true. I would be more concerned "how is it going to be marketed" With Pentax now so far behind in this area. Having owned a K1 since its introduction. unless there are upgrades in focus speed, frames per second and video quality. Im unlikely to choose Pentax again.

Still a subscription though.... Personally I still Prefer Serif's Affinity Photo 2 @ £40.42 Pay once and own the software.

Lee Filters have a dedicated adaptor for the Pentax/Tamron 15-30 - it is part of their SW150 system, so the filters themselves are larger (150mm) and of course more expensive. I've fiddled about with various filter systems over the years but have now settled on this SW150 system - they don't make filter ring adaptors for every size (it may just be 72mm and above) so it's not totally flexible but it covers the lenses I use most.
I've found the Lee filters to be excellent quality and they have no obvious overall colour cast (some "cheaper" makes and even the early Cokin filters had a colour cast) so would recommend them. But they are bulky, not an item that you'd chuck in and end pocket of the bag at the last minute

Yes I totally agree with these suggestion's. I bought a Kase K150P holder in a sale some time ago. With is brilliant. Taking a 150mm Circular magnetic filter. But as yet have never purchased any of the filters. My "Bottle went" at over £200 each. And I dont really use them all that often to justify such a professional system at that kind of cost. So I end up making sacrafices by using the DFA 24-70 which can take an 82mm filter as you all know. But if stacking them you need to use 95mm or they will vignette. So after looking around at 150mm systems I discovered this is the kinda prices the better companies were charging. Landscape photographers are obviously more affluant than me... So this was just a general posting. to see how others managed this lens. So thanks all for the great comments, plus alternative ideas.Lee Filters have a dedicated adaptor for the Pentax/Tamron 15-30 - it is part of their SW150 system, so the filters themselves are larger (150mm) and of course more expensive.
