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,

Great! When you get it, just tell us if it is called "normal" and is a screw one. I'll know for sure that mines would fit this lens.
Andre
