Agree size of card in use is very important..

Lovely image...

Its not just landscape... On the way from Essex to Windermere. Dont forget England's industrial heritage that is Manchester... "Cottonopolis." With it's "Ship" canal networks. Cotton and coal mining backgrounds. And at that time. On the sporting front. Namely Football. You will either be "Blue or red." "City or United." Football will be alive in the City.. As City hope to lift the Premier League trophy.. The rivalry will be intense.. Partying will be at a very high level..

but whatever attracts you.. Make sure you enjoy your trip and take much to talk about back to Canada....

Looks good Paul. I use something similiar. A "Zomei one" Screw it into my full ND's

Sorry my poor explanation... I only purchased the full ND in the circular ones.. i found they trapped the light better. Between the lens. Than the rectangular ones. I found 3 stop, 6 and 10 were all I ever required.

I havn't purchased my Grads yet. As with the DFA 15-30 they require a 150mm square set. And in Kase they are £200 each plus holder. Which I think is excessive for the very few landscape shots I take on.

But if the Irix ones are only a tenner. Why turn away from the manufacturers offering ? But with the ND mounted internally, You do still have to focus the lens... But I'm sure you have considered all this along the way..

The whole world of filters is changing rapidly at the moment. The new pretenders to the throne are all claiming to be tint free and "Glass" which in the past many of the leading brands wernt. I have previously seen the filter that slips to the rear of the lens. Though not used it looks a nifty idea. Personally I purchased some 82mm Kase filers for my DFA 24-70. Which are superb. but no use for the Irix or the Pentax 15 - 30.. My only query is how do you conect a grad filter to the Irix ? Only get square / rectangular glass ones....

Thanks Mkike. All better than my usual efforts...

Thanks for that John.. I have just come across one second hand at a good price. No I dont expect it to be pefect. As it is after all an APSC lens.. But I thought I remembered people saying it was nearly there. Just wanted to remind myself how close.. I thought it would also save a bit of weight for street togging rather than the DFA 24-70 if not as versatile...

Just a quick question. Does anyone own the plastic fantastic DA 35 2.4. And using it with a K1 ? Using it in full frame mode. How well does it perform ? How much of the image circle is covered ? Thanks....

Excellent collection...!
