I have enough problems just keeping up with emails (several hundred a day in term time) and this site without adding another source of mass communication to the mix. I miss the time when people used to send me a postcard from their holidays. Now I get a bulk-written email and links to 3000 dire photos of people standing in front of various interesting things (I cannot tell what they are because they are standing in front of them) and photos of the amazing supper they had one night on the Costa del Puke.

I don't think it is cheesy at all, although I have now for the first time visited facebook. I had hoped to live the rest of my days without visiting facebook...

Is there a prize for the person who posts the first message on the 100th page?
Talking of prizes, thanks to the PUG gang for my book. Having shied away from portraits for years perhaps now is the time to expand my horizons.

Yes, in this one the slab on which the ivy is growing is at 45 degrees to the camera. I was trying to get fresh green ivy leaves on a background of blurred yellow cowslips. The problem is, of course, that the more one stops down the lens to get more of the ivy in focus, the less blurred and abstract the background becomes.
Oh well, back to the drawing board. At least the ivy/cowslips/slab are only 15 yards from my door.

That hole in my K lens line-up will have to stay a hole for the moment then! Did you try it out first?

Comment by womble posted on FS: Genuine Pentax K 18mm f/3.5 at 14/05/2010 - 13:34
Pentax standardised on 49mm as their smallest filter size very early on. A few of their earliest Takumar preset lenses used 46mm filters.
I realise they are for film, hence my interest! Had they been 49mm I may well have bought a couple of them. I have an original Pentax 49mm red filter but the coating as gone a bit funny and I wanted to see if some of the odd photos I got at Easter were down to that.
Best wishes, Kris.

I have never come across a Pentax lens with a 48mm filter but then I haven't seen 'em all! Perhaps there is a closet Canon FT owner hanging around somewhere...
Best wishes, Kris.
