Hey, that's on topic! And it raises a fascinating (and real) possibility: For as long as I can remember people have been complaining about Hoya's HMC filters; not their effectiveness but rather how difficult they are to clean. But now that Hoya owns Pentax they ought to be able to use Pentax SMC on their filters. (I have a couple of Pentax SMC UV filters and on the rare occasions when I use a UV filters, they perform superbly (in terms of flare-resistance and "easy-to-cleaniness"). Someone needs to grab Ned Bunnell's ear and get this idea over to Japan. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
