The price gyrations over relatively short periods make it confusing to be a Pentax customer. Should I buy now or wait? Will the price drop the day after I buy? Can I find a dealer who still has an old price? I want to buy one lens now and another in a few months - how should I time my purchase?
Congrats, Ricoh, you've turned Pentax photography into daytrading ;)

It is a big deal. This argument that these price increases put the US in line with the rest of the world don't really matter. Yes, you've been paying more all along. That sucks. But that doesn't change the fact that many American Pentax customers chose this brand because the comparatively low prices relative to CaNikon made swallowing the bitter pill of its shortcomings easier. You take away that sweetness and the bitterness is all that's left.
I don't know about you, but I'm not in the habit of looking for the most expensive place to buy something I'm interested in. And neither is anybody else. Sure, I suppose you could import your milk from Australia; does that mean your neighbors should quit their moaning when milk prices double at home in Minnesota? At some point, maybe it's time to consider orange juice.

Ive read somewhere that slim filters don't fit the da15 so well (at all?)
Why do you want with a 2 or 3 stop anyway? For shots without people use a 10 stop, for shots with people use a 6 stop.
I've done quite a few long exposures with the da15. I'd recommend just starting with 1 nd filter, a 10 stop.

Mods, you can PM on this, but:
Shouldn't I be getting together with some of my best buddies here to form our very own "Super Secret Reputation Club," where we Reputation-Point the hell out of each other on every single post we make so we can leave all others in the dust?
Damn, I never could keep my mouth shut, so I guess it's too late now.
