Any battery will have a longer life-span if you refrain from completely draining it. So charging before dead flat is recommended. That said, I don't really pay much attention to mine, since replacements are so cheap - I have the oem one that came with my K-5 and an off-brand one I got with it at the same time, and they work equally well, so if I need another I'll just buy another off-brand one. I have the one charger and try to keep one battery fully charged and ready for use by always putting a partially depleted battery on to charge and swapping the fresh one into the K-5. I don't keep the charged one on the charger after it has finished charging, though that might make sure you don't get any self-discharge if it's not used for a long period of time.
I've thought about getting another charger for those heavy-use days when I deplete both batteries and want to leave both on to charge over night, but I trust cheap chargers much less than I trust cheap batteries themselves (because if the charging circuitry is not great, your best-case scenario is hammered batteries and your worst-case scenario is explosion/fire). You'll notice on your charger there is a "T" contact between the + and - contacts, which is for temperature sensing. Your cheap knock-off chargers usually don't have this contact and just aren't as safe, even though they'd probably get the job done 90% of the time.

So you'd need a m42 to K-mount to use this setup with a K-5 (Kaf2 mount, from memory)? And that would have to be manual focus, right?

Yeah, silhouettes and reflections aren't really the same as shadows. Standard is very impressive, though!
@nezih: The theme for this contest was "shadows". The note up the top stating the theme of "abstract" was for the current contest ;)

Still trying ;)
edit: Hmm... over half an hour of refreshing this page just so I could miss out by one post. I think I'll just build a remote or buy a Chinese cheapy :P
