I get a little nervous when we suggest putting a filter behind optical elements (when the subject is the sun). Focused (or semi-focused?) sun rays might increase the heat build-up in the dark glass of the filter which could lead to the filter cracking/breaking. Just recommending an abundance of caution when messing with things that might put eyesight and expensive cameras at risk. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
