It's a lens with a internal removable/interchangeable filter. The knob is how you secure it once it's in place. The "Front" marking just shows which way the filter drawer goes in. Most commonly found on big telephoto lenses like my FA*300/2.8. In this case it appears to be on a wide angle (presumably the front element is too big to use conventional filters without vignetting). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
