Very insightful feedback from everyone, thanks a ton..! Really appreciate all the time you too out for it.
I shall be taking precautions this time.. against condensation, removing the UV filter.. and seeing the results again. I did have the viewfinder blind on.. so perhaps it may not have been tight shut. There was a strong light source at the back of the camera.. so I'd not be surprised that it's the culprit. The lens is a DA lens so I hope it's a genuine copy.
Anyhow.. hope to come up with something better soon..!

Dear All-
I was trying my hand a star-trails on the k5. To minimize noise, I kept the ISO at 80, switched on NR at long exposures, and took 30 sec exposures. I see something weird. Each image.. has a central ring of luminous "haze". It can't be the lighting.. since the haze is consistently at the center of the image and I have tried at two different times, with very different lighting conditions. Could it be that my k5 is faulty.. it's pretty new. Also.. do you expect such results... as seen in the final one.. or am I missing something critical here.
One suspicion I have is that of the UV filter I have left on. Though the best test would be to take it off and retake.. just want to hear you guys first.. since the nights are cold!
Thanks!
Saumendra

Took these random pics at the Times Square.. very touristy destination, I agree. And yet, quite a lot of human aspect of the Great City becomes visible... in a small block.
Had great problems with focussing manually with the 1.2 aperture.. some of these pics may have been stopped down.
Lesson: k5 live-view is a savior. Mostly.

I got mine few days back; while it's fine overall.. I am concerned with two things. One, the purple fringing is enormous fully open. Two, it wont focus to infinity on my K5. Interestingly, I mounted it on my panasonic gh2.. (with adapter) and it seem to focus correctly.
