Andre,
Thanks for the filter offer, but I should be in good shape now. After a
few more phone calls, I got someone in Colorado to order the original
Pentax drop-in filter for me. I should also finally be getting a hood to
my DA 16-45mm lens that actually fits, AND my *ist-D is on the way back
home as of yesterday... So all seems to be well on this end [at least
momentarily]. Thanks again. Once I get the filter, the first order of
business will be to see if there is any apparent difference in picture
quality with & without it.
Best regards,
- jerome
