I think you'll need a glass-less ring or a clear/UV

I've seen that one, he reviews the DA15 (2videos) and leaves on a B+W UV and then adds a 49-77 step ring which clears the end of the hood and then mounts either a 77m round or for his old LEE system a 77-95 and the then 95mm ring with LEE holder/frame.

Informative videos but he does waffle on a bit.

Well , there is some Great news for Pentaxians with a Da15 Ltd Lens ,There is no Need for Step-up rings, a 49 mm WA Ring adaptor screwed into a Clear UV / Glassless ring won't cause any Vignetting . more images/ sample shots to follow. I am absolutely stoked that I can use this GEM with Lee Filters.

Michigan and Ontario seems to have turned at nearly the same time. I think we might be a little further along here Matt. I love the progression you've captured there, green to gold to red all in one small section.

I've juiced this up a tad in Luminance, but its not far off what the hills look like in reality.

Awesome...spectacular...fantabulous !!!

Hidden Alley...

This room was tucked away when I stumbled upon it. It was so clean tho... The ceiling had a very weird angle to it.

Colored version available @ my flickr.

Sounds like "most" approve of the lens! I will get one for a trip to St. Petersburg. I'm told that the Winter Palace cries out for a wide.
