Thank you, the NiSi 100mm holder shows a little vignetting at 18mm but easily dealt with. I had to attach a 82mm ring (an old UV filter which I knocked the glass out of) in order to attach the NiSi filter holder to the 11-18 lens as there is a 'notch' on the lens preventing the direct attachment of the NiSi filter. The same goes for attaching a Lee filter with an UWA ring. I'll look into the Haida M10 filter system.

The standard M10 82mm filter adapter ring works without problem on the DA*11-18.

Welcome to the forums from Australia.
Some great shots there!
I look forward to seeing some more photos posted on these forums from yourself.

Hello Phil and welcome from South Aus, a couple of great shots there and we look forward to seeing more of them

Welcome Phil. Great shots!

I love the DA* 11-18 too. Although it is usable at the long end on the K-1, I still use mine exclusively on the KP. I often take both bodies, and find having something even wider (like the Laowa 12, or a fisheye) or longer (like the DFA 24-70 or 28-105) on the K-1 to be very useful.

I have the DFA 15-30 as well, but find it harder and harder to make a use case for keeping it.

Thanks Sandy, it was seeing your images taken with a 11-18 that finally persuaded me to buy a 11-18 rather than a 15-30. I also have a DFA 24-70 (my K1 'workhorse'), a DFA 28-105 (excellent travel lens), a FA 35 (great lightweight 'walk about' lens) and a DFA* 50 (perfect portrait lens) as well as a wide range of crop lenses. You can view my images at Phil Payne | Flickr . Like you I often take two bodies, my K1 and K3 as I don't like changing lenses outside.

Welcome. You've captured some wonderful images there.

I bought a 15-30mm mainly to use inside. I have used it occasionally outside, but I am a bit weary given the filter situation.

Looking at your images in Flickr I feel unworthy of such influence. I look forward to seeing more.

Great shots, looks like the lens and camera are working out for you.

Thank you, my main reason for getting a 11-18 rather than the 15-30 was the ability to use 100mm filters on the 11-18.

Thank you, so far so good with the 11-18!

G'day mate and welcome to the forum

Thank you, the Forum is a great source of information and so pleasing to hear from so many Pentax users. I always tell anybody buying a DSLR for the first time to buy Pentax, great cameras and lenses and best value for money.
