Thanks all for the suggestions on Pentax filters. It has been a while since I've placed a UV filter on one of my lenses but dropping the 43mm in the snow (it was in pretty deep) scared me enough to buy one for protection. I appreciate the reminder that it will most likely compromise image quality though. I'll probably remove it.
Shel, I was thinking the same thing about getting a different hood for the 43mm, as I also thought it seemed a bit shallow. They have some silver-colored metallic lens hoods that are longer than the standard one that comes with the 43mm at the store I go to, so perhaps I'll pick up one of those. I got my camera cleaned up nicely today by my local Pentax repair shop so ready to fire off more exposures. Hopefully I'll have something nice to submit to this month's PUG.
