Re: 70mm LE filters (was PentaxUSA Strikes Again!)
The 70mm limited uses 49mm filters. Bertil - Thank you, Bertil. I know that the DA 70 will use 49 mm filters. That is on the filter ring. My question was whether it can also use another size in the lens hood, as the 21 and 40 do. >From what I have seen of the lens hood, I believe the 70 will use only the 49 >mm filters. It will not take another filter in the hood. That was wanted >PentaxUSA to inform me about. Joe -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
Re: 70mm LE filters (was PentaxUSA Strikes Again!)

PentaxUSA Strikes Again!
I asked: "Will the DA 70 be able to accept filters in the lens hood,like the DA 21 and DA 40? If so, what will the filter diameter be?" And Pentax USA responded: "Thank you for contacting Pentax. The DA series lenses are designed for the Pentax Digital SLR camera bodies, and the digital SLR has digital filters built in to the camera, as well as the editing software, but if you were to use a lens filter you would need to use the filter that fits the filter diameter for that lens. In this case The DA 21,and DA 40 would use the 49mm filters." Wow! The depth of their knowledge is astounding.
