James, The P5/P50 was designed for A lenses. It works fine with K, A, F, and FA lenses. With A lenses, the LCD goes into a Program Action or Program Depth of Field mode. You change it with the two rectangular buttons at the top of the LCD. You had a K lens on it, or had it set to a specific

None for me please, except for black and white. And then only sparingly. Extra glass surfaces don't do much for pictures. When I absolutely must use a filter, I stick to very high quality, multicoated filters, like Pentax, B+W, Heliopan, Zeiss, and Nikon. Never more than one filter at a time and

I'm sure they have/can come up with one. What ever you get, make sure it has an anti-rotation lip on the back. Without the lip, when you go to a vertical composition with some of the longer lenses (lens without tripod mounts) the camera body will tend to rotate downward. I use the plates for quick
