Thanks, Paul. I have to say it was fun walking around with only a P&S in my pocket again like I did back then. And it really fits in every pocket.

I really like that filter when it comes to architecture.

@Simon K Love that shot! Do you know what kind of butterfly it is?

Thanks a lot, Hjortron. The members of the genus Zygaena often look quite similar but this should be positively Zygaena filipendulae, the Six-spot burnet, because the other Zygaena species wearing six red spots on black is Zygaena transalpina which lives, as the name suggests, south of the alps. The red spots really pop when the light shines on it in the right angle.

@hjortron: Love the colors! May I ask which (in-camera) custom profile you used for this shot, if any?

Heavily overcast day with a Sigma 35-135mm F3.5-4.5 wide open at the tele end.

This is the best of my moon shots from the Pentax 645 600mm with 2x converter; tried it on the 645D, 645Z, and KP. Three different but consecutive nights, so there were variables in atmosphere, my focusing, and whatever else changed.

Of 20 or so shots, this one with the 645D is the "best"- sharpest and maybe I just got the focus perfect- but it shows that the ccd sensor of the 645 D is quite capable- JMHO.

I did use SilkyPix 5 to enhance the image as best I could, but it was clearly the best just out of the camera in jpeg.
